Zero Carbon Taskforce And Wwf-Uk

EDM number 1748 in 2010-12, proposed by Bob Russell on 26/04/2011.
Categorised under the topics of Energy and Housing.

That this House regrets the decision of the environmental charity WWF-UK to resign from the Government's Zero Carbon Taskforce whose remit is to make all new homes zero-carbon by 2016, with the target meaning that such homes would produce no net emissions; acknowledges the criticism made by the charity following the disclosure in documents released by the Government that energy used to power appliances such as televisions, dishwashers and cooking equipment would no longer be included in the regulations; notes that the change was made without any consultation; and calls on the Government to revoke this decision so that the Zero Carbon Taskforce can continue its work towards reaching the previous 2016 targets.

This motion has been signed by a total of 13 MPs.
