HC Deb 18 May 1992 vol 208 c43W
Mr. Dafis

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his policy on the principle of equal per capita emissions rights; and if it will be included in his forthcoming submission to the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development.

Mr. Maclean

The preamble to the United Nations framework convention on climate change recognises that per capita emissions in developing countries are still relatively low and that the share of global emissions originating in developing countries will grow to meet their social and development needs.
