HC Deb 09 January 1990 vol 164 c586W
Mrs. Gorman

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what scientific evidence will be used to formulate proposals to reduce carbon dioxide emissions following the Environment Council meeting of 28 November.

Mr. Trippier

A comprehensive assessment of the scientific evidence for climatic change and its possible impacts is being undertaken by the working groups of the intergovernmental panel on climate change. The IPCC will report later this year and its work will be considered at the second world climate conference in November 1990.
