Proceeding contribution from Chris Huhne (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 June 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Carbon Dioxide Reduction Target.


Carbon Dioxide Reduction Target

The Minister mentioned the emissions trading scheme. Have the Government been advised on what would be an appropriate price per tonne to aim for, if we are to achieve the kind of reductions necessary in the European Union? A company called Vattenfall has estimated €40 per tonne, and the recent price for 2008 permits was about €23. Do the Government’s advisers or the Minister have a view on this matter?
