GOVERNMENT'S CLIMATE CHANGE POLICY

EDM number 142 in 1999-00, proposed by Tony Colman on 06/12/1999.

That this House congratulates the Government upon its manifesto commitment to reduce United Kingdom carbon dioxide emissions by 20 per cent. based on 1990 levels by 2010; further congratulates the Prime Minister for making it clear in the House that this is 'not a conditional target' (Official Report, 24th June 1997, columns 687-8); fully supports the Deputy Prime Minister's statement at the Fifth Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Climate Change in Bonn in November in which he stressed the need for urgent domestic action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and that the Kyoto commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 12.5 per cent. between 2008 and 2012 is only a starting point, and emphasised his commitment to the domestic target of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 20 per cent. by 2010; looks forward to the setting out and introduction of policies and measures to meet both the Kyoto and the 20 per cent. Manifesto targets in the Government's forthcoming Climate Change Strategy; and acknowledges that this will enable the Government to continue to lead the international battle against dangerous climate change.

This motion has been signed by a total of 262 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
