PERSONAL CARBON TRADING

Early day motion 1085, tabled 8 March 2007 by Elliot Morley (Labour). Signed by 36 members.

That this House congratulates the Prime Minister on making climate change a priority for the UK Government; believes that, for this issue to transcend short-term political cycles, policies must be introduced which both include and, more importantly, engage every individual in tackling global warming and assuming some personal responsibility for their emissions; and notes that, in practice, a system of personal carbon trading would provide the most equitable, efficient and effective way of encouraging this development, and would create the necessary relationship between individual and global action.

Signatures by party: Labour 29, Conservative 2, Liberal Democrat 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Independent 1.
