Labour's Environmental Record

Some Tory MPs have sponsored an interesting Early Day Motion (a straw poll, where MPs can show where they stand on this issue or that issue). It's on "Government Carbon Pollution" ...

This House notes that the Sustainable Development Commission report, "Sustainable Development in Government 2007," found that nearly two-thirds of government departments are not on track to meet their carbon emissions reduction targets; further notes that when the Ministry of Defence is discounted, all performance improvements are negated, and that carbon emissions from Civil Service estate offices have increased by 22 per cent, and energy efficiency has worsened by 3.3 per cent.
