GOVERNMENT FAILING TO CURB EMISSIONS - HUHNE12.00.00am UTC (GMT +0000) Thu 17th May 2007
Commenting on today's government announcement that emissions from UK sites covered by the EU Emissions trading scheme (ETS) rose by 3.6% to 251.1 million tonnes of CO2 in 2006, Liberal Democrat Shadow Environment Secretary, Chris Huhne MP said: "These figures show we are failing to curb our carbon emissions and have only kept within our obligations by buying permits from other EU countries. "With carbon prices set to rise sharply in the second phase of the scheme from 2008, we need to stop the roll back to coal-fired electricity generation and start serious energy-saving."
