Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Peter Ainsworth (Conservative). It was answered on Thursday, 9 March 2006 on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
- Question
- Some Opposition Members wish that the Secretary of State would have rather more rows with the DTI. Her Department says that, on current trends, we will cut carbon emissions by 13 per cent. by 2010, but the DTI says that the cut will amount to only 10 per cent. Are DEFRA and the DTI working on different sets of data and predictive models, and which figure is right?
- Answer
-
The latest figures predict a cut of about 10 per cent., but the two Departments are not working on different models. Figures and assessments are being revised all the time, as information comes in. I understand why the hon. Gentleman wishes that I would have more rows with my colleagues, but I find that that does not help me to get my own way, which is what I like to do.
