Proceeding contribution from Martin Horwood (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

I was saying that it was clear that we met the Kyoto target because of the dash for gas. That caused the steep reduction in overall greenhouse gas emissions, which brought us below the target as long ago as 1999. Emissions have been going up since then, although they are perhaps not as high as they would have been without other measures.
