Text
What you are getting is resolute action from me on climate change, and that is why I have come to the Assembly today to outline the work that I am doing in relation to it. If the Member cared about this issue, as he pretends he does, he would have read the judgement fully and read my written ministerial statement on 9 July. What I cannot stomach is johnny-come-latelies, on 11 November, suddenly cottoning on to this issue and making false allegations about my commitments around climate change.
