The environment will benefit from our eliminating the use of coal, but for now, blast furnaces still need it, so it is only a question of where it comes from. If a mine opens in Cumberland, no more coal is being burnt and if the mine is prevented, no less is burnt: it is just different, imported coal. Brown coal from Germany / Silesia is worse for the environment too.

It appears that the promoters of the amendment, though with honest intent, just want to force someone or something to make an "official" pronouncement that the (Mainland) Chinese government is committing genocide in Turkestan, irrespective of the consequences. An 'official' declaration makes no difference though: the whole world already knows that that it is genocide.

Satellite-launching is a private enterprise matter these days (and two of the leading providers are British, or South African, which is barely different). The government challenge is in big-ticket shows or military applications.
One thing they could do is to lay a runway solid enough for a Skylon, on the East Coast or on Ascension.
After the Treasury recovers from the current fiscal crisis in a few years' time, our government could well afford to put a Briton on the Moon or a like project to restore the nation to its old self-confidence. It was always a mission of the Empire to boldly go where no cultured man had gone before. They would first though have to stop throwing £billions in the bin each year.
