GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS

Early day motion 923, tabled 29 March 2004 by Baroness McIntosh of Pickering (Conservative). Signed by 63 members.

That this House notes the Government's recent announcement of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emission levels in 2003; is extremely disappointed to note that carbon emissions have increased by 1.5 per cent. since 2002; further notes that in 1997, 152.9 million tonnes of carbon were emitted and 152.5 million tonnes were emitted in 2003; and therefore calls on the Government to explain why, despite so much being said by the Government on this subject, so little has been done to reduce this figure further.

Signatures by party: Conservative 58, DUP 2, Independent Conservative 1, Liberal Democrat 1, Plaid Cymru 1.
