I propose an amendment to the Order of Business: "That No. 11 be taken before No. 1." No. 11 is a Bill I am seeking to introduce to ban fossil fuel advertising. We know that fossil fuel companies have been using renewable energy in advertisements showing wind turbines and solar panels to effectively greenwash what their actual activities are. For example, Shell has absolutely no plans to reduce its fossil fuel exploration or use by 2030. In fact, its plans are to increase use by 20%. Only 1% of Shell's investment is in renewable energy sources. Equally, BP used its sponsorship of the end of days exhibition in the British Museum to get access to politicians in Britain to greenwash its activities there.

It is long overdue that we treat fossil fuel companies exactly in the same manner as we have treated tobacco companies, which is to effectively ban any fossil fuel advertising whatsoever. We know what they are doing and we know their agenda, which certainly is not the phase-out of fossil fuels.
