UNABATED COAL-FIRED ELECTRICITY GENERATION

Early day motion 1798, tabled 16 June 2008 by Desmond Turner (Labour). Signed by 23 members.

That this House considers that in the light of the current state of knowledge of climate change and of the Government's response in the form of the Climate Change Bill, which will set out a mandatory framework for the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, it would not be proper to license any new coal-fired electricity generating plant that does not have provisions for abating carbon dioxide emissions.

Signatures by party: Labour 16, Liberal Democrat 3, Conservative 2, Independent 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
