CLIMATE CHANGE (No. 2)

Early day motion 704, tabled 10 October 2005 by Rudi Vis (Labour). Signed by 26 members.

That this House welcomes the cross-party agreement in favour of major cuts in greenhouse gas emissions; believes there is scope to improve the Climate Change Bill presented by a cross-party group of honourable Members shortly before the General Election, by way of an override provision that the UK's per capita emissions of carbon dioxide covered by the Bill shall not be required to fall below two-thirds of the average for the set of countries most recently belonging to the European Union at the representative date; and would welcome the speedy introduction of such a bill with the said provision.

Signatures by party: Labour 21, Liberal Democrat 5.
