Written question asked by Lord Berkeley (Labour), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour) on Friday, 6 November 2009.

Ports: Carbon Emissions

Question: To ask Her Majesty's Government what guidance they have given to ports regarding any reputational liability caused by erratic tenant energy use which may alter carbon reduction commitment league table positions.

Answer: The Government have provided no advice to port estate owners or any other potential participants to help them reduce the carbon emissions of their tenants or more generally on energy use. Such advice is readily available through the Carbon Trust and others. DECC has supported the British Property Federation in the production of the guidance "Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC)—a guide for landlords and tenants" produced by the British Property Federation.
