§ Mr. Simon HughesTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how he intends to achieve stabilisation of carbon dioxide emissions; what estimates he has of the contributions of the transport and energy sectors to the reduction in emissions; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. BaldryThe Environment White Paper, "This Common Inheritance" (Cm 1200) set out the Government's strategy for achieving our conditional target of returning Britain's CO, emissions to 1990 levels by the year 2005. The first year report (Cm 1655) showed how the first set of measures is being put into practice. Action is being taken across all sectors of the economy taking into account the relative cost-effectiveness of measures in different sectors and other wider costs and benefits.
