Those figures are misleading. We have little manufacturing actually in this country, but if you look at the emissions contributed by companies headquartered in the UK but done in China, India etc., I think it would add up to more like 5%.

We can still legislate. Whether we should or not is another matter, but 'we don't contribute much' isn't the argument I would use in that case.
