In order to improve the Bill, my Labour colleague Nigel Griffiths MP has tabled an Amendment that developed countries need to reduce their emissions by up to 80 per cent rather than 60 per cent as stated in the Bill.
He has also tabled a New Clause concerning emissions of greenhouse gases from international aviation and shipping.
I have added my name to both of these.

On Friday, I visited the Canolfan Bedwyr Centre at Bangor University. The Centre provides a service for Welsh language support.
The event was one of a series of activities aimed at increasing awareness of the Centre's work and the services it offers both within the University and externally.
I met staff and users of the Language Scheme Unit, Translation Unit, Language Improvement Unit and the Language Technologies Unit.

Four Labour Members of Parliament who have been working with the RNIB concerning the granting of the Higher Rate Mobility component of Disability Living Allowance to people who are partially sighted and blind met the Secretary of State, Department for Work and Pensions on Tuesday.
Over a number of years, the four of us have dealt with cases referred to us by our constituents.
The Secretary of State listened to our arguments and promised to consider them carefully as part of the Department's review of benefits.

The All Party Parliamentary Group on Cancer was founded in 1998 to keep cancer at the top of the political agenda, and to ensure that people affected by cancer remain at the centre of policy-making.
I have been a member of the Group from the beginning.

To celebrate the tenth birthday of the Group, we held a Parliamentary reception last week.
It was an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of the Group and the great steps forward that have been achieved in cancer care over the past ten years.

The Group has tirelessly campaigned for and supported patients and groups affected by cancer.
The officers of the Group are contacted on a weekly basis by people who require parliamentary support to help an individual case and by groups who want to affect policy change.

Britain Against Cancer has become an annual event and for the last nine years has successfully brought together patients, health professionals and policy-makers to look at the impact of public policy on cancer services and research. Its next conference will be at Westminster in December.
The over arching theme of the Conference will be 'Realising the goals of the Cancer Reform Strategy'.

I attended an event organised by the National Children's Bureau (NCB) to discuss issues about Looked after children with HIV. The NCB is a charitable organisation that acts as an umbrella body for organisations working with children and young people in England and Northern Ireland.
It also works in partnership with Children in Wales.
They launched their research report 'Looking after HIV: are we doing enough for looked after children with HIV?'

Although the number of HIV positive children in public care is small, the research concludes that their specific needs are not being met, and that practitioners feel ill equipped with the knowledge and understanding to offer the level of support and understanding so desperately needed.

The research gathered the experiences of HIV positive children and young people in public care, presenting cases from residential care, foster care and young people in the prison system.
The cases included a young person who experienced foster care break down once they received their HIV diagnosis; a 16 year old who acquired HIV and died whilst under a care order and cases of young people infected from birth and their experiences of residential and foster care.

In collaboration with Action for Global Health, the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Population, Development and Reproductive Health met at Westminster to highlight key findings from case studies conducted in six developing countries on aid delivery for health.

The report makes recommendations on how the UK Government and the European Commission can improve mechanisms to ensure progress in achieving Millennium Development Goals (MDG) 4 and 5 on maternal and child health and MDG 6 on combating HIV and AIDS, TB and malaria.

Representatives of The Health and Safety Executive met us at the House of Commons to discuss their work.
We had an opportunity to raise local and national health and safety issues.

I attended an event to celebrate the 50th anniversary and work of the Africa Educational Trust (AET).
Over the past five decades, the Trust has established a reputation for innovative approaches to supporting education and training in difficult environments, and has helped over 750,000 children and young people from Africa to access learning.

Over the years, AET has received substantial funding from the Department for International Development and the European Commission, especially for its work in Somalia and Southern Sudan.
This event was a valuable opportunity to bring together over 100 international policy makers, Africa development professionals, Members of Parliament, representatives from foundations and the media in order to focus on an issue, which is of great importance.

On Tuesday, I met representatives of the Royal British Legion to learn more about the issues that continue to be of concern to Gulf War Veterans.
