During Question Time on the 26th of November, 2018, Adam asked the Prime Minister the following question:

This Friday many thousands of students across the country will go on strike from school, calling for emergency action on climate change. These brave and courageous kids are joining young people around the world who are angry at the failure of governments, including yours, to secure their future from global warming. Prime Minister, will you join me in praising these students for having a go? And will you meet with and listen to these kids who are demanding action from the government to keep coal in the ground?

 

 

The full question and answer can be found on YouTube here.
