§ Mr. BakerTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what policy he will adopt in respect of the greenhouse gas HFC 134a at the Fourth Conference of the Parties of the Framework Convention on Climate Change in Buenos Aires. [40552]
§ Angela EagleSpecific discussion of policies and measures for emissions reductions of individual greenhouse gases, such as HFC134a, is not expected to be on the agenda at the Fourth Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to be held in Buenos Aires in November.
However, the Government are currently considering with other European Member States, how the European Union can meet the target that was set in the Kyoto Protocol, for reducing emissions of all greenhouse gases, including HFCs. The Government will be issuing a consultation paper in the summer on how the UK proposes meeting its commitments.
