Yvonne Fletcher
Daniel Kawczynski: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when he last had discussions with the Libyan Government on bringing to justice those responsible for the death of WPC Yvonne Fletcher. [272533]
Bill Rammell: My right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary raised the investigation into the murder of WPC Yvonne Fletcher when he met with the then Libyan Foreign Minister, Abdurrahman Shalgam on his visit to London in January 2008. I also raised the investigation into WPC Fletcher's murder with the Libyan Minister for Europe last month and again when I visited Libya in February this year. Officials also continue to raise the failure of Libya to allow the Metropolitan Police to complete its investigations in Libya.
Securing full Libyan co-operation with the Metropolitan Police Service investigation into this murder continues to be a key objective in our relations with Libya.
In all our conversations with the Libyan Government on the investigation into the murder of WPC Fletcher, we make it clear that they made a commitment to
co-operate fully with the Metropolitan Police Service's investigation. The Government will continue to demand co-operation from the Libyan authorities and insist that they allow the Metropolitan Police to return to Libya to continue their investigation.

Mr. Redwood: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change how many UK Ministers and officials attended the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Poznan on 13 December 2008; and what method of transportation each used. [246697]

Delegates attended from different Departments across Whitehall to ensure the full range of issues could be addressed by UK experts. Of the total, 33 delegates attended from the Department of Energy and Climate Change
The Ministers in attendance were Secretary of State Ed Miliband, and Parliamentary Under-Secretary Joan Ruddock.
The 47 delegates travelled to and from Poznan in the following proportions:

All emissions resulting from DECC's international commitments are offset. In April 2006 the UK developed a Government Carbon Offsetting Fund (GCOF) as part of the wider UK Sustainable Development Strategy to meet the commitment to offset emissions arising from official and ministerial air travel.
Departmental Public Expenditure
Grant Shapps: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change pursuant to the answer of 10 March 2009, Official Report, column 404W, on the economic situation, what estimate he has made of the carbon cost of the meeting of energy and oil Ministers in London on 18 and 19 December 2008; and whether his Department took steps to offset such carbon expenditure. [270963]
Mr. Mike O'Brien: The Department has made no estimate of the carbon cost of the meeting of international energy and oil Ministers in London on 18 and 19 December 2008. No specific steps were taken by the Department to offset this impact. I have no information on the extent to which participants may have taken steps themselves to offset the carbon impact of their attendance at the meeting.
