Proceeding contribution from Tessa Munt (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 1 December 2010. It occurred during Debate on National Policy Statements.


National Policy Statements

Does the hon. Gentleman agree that the Infrastructure Planning Commission successor body appears to be carbon-blind in its decision making under the arrangements? The IPC successor body should give significant weight to any project's carbon emissions and ensure that cumulative emissions from the various projects do not jeopardise the UK's carbon targets and their budgets. The national policy statement should provide an additional safeguard to that process.
