Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Tim Yeo (Conservative), on Tuesday, 16 December 2008, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 221 members in total.


EMISSIONS PERFORMANCE STANDARD

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.
