Prime Minister, will you put a stop to mining fossil fuels and make a world leading push
towards sustainable energy?

Prime Minister, will you support the legitimate expectation of Cantabrians to return to full
democracy during the 2016 local body elections?
What I would say is that the Government is working towards restoration of a fully elected

year there will be a formal review undertaken by the Government—as occurs every so often—about
the refugee quota, and I would not want to jump in front of that review
