EMISSIONS PERFORMANCE STANDARD

Early day motion 299, tabled 16 December 2008 by Tim Yeo (Conservative). Signed by 221 members.

That this House believes that, in light of the strong recommendation made by the Climate Change Committee that the power sector should be almost fully decarbonised by 2030, and its warning of the potential dangers of a purely market-led approach leading to carbon lock in, the Government should bring forward early legislation to introduce a greenhouse gas emissions performance standard to apply to all new power generation capacity.
