Proceeding contribution from Chris Huhne (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 May 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Fourth Carbon Budget.

Fourth Carbon Budget

I can assure the right hon. Gentleman that we intend to try to meet all the reductions we have set out from our domestic activity. That is the clear intention of setting out the fourth carbon budget as we have. However, given the enormous uncertainties of making projections so far in advance, it would not be sensible for us to rule out the flexibility afforded by carbon trading at the relevant time.
