Context
The question follows a discussion on the opportunities arising from COP26 for Scotland, focusing on the Union's role in tackling climate change.
My constituents in Guildford take a keen interest in environmental concerns and, along with me, are delighted that Glasgow is hosting COP26 this year. Does my hon. Friend agree that we are better placed to tackle climate change as a strong Union of nations?
My hon. Friend is absolutely right. I should also point out that it is disgraceful that, while we will be showcasing our global leadership on climate change and the world's gaze will be on Glasgow, the SNP would rather be pitting community against community in another divisive referendum.
