Topical Questions

Oral answer to question provided on Thursday, 13 March 2008 in the House of Commons, by Hilary Benn (Labour) on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.

Answer

The Committee on Climate Change will make its recommendation at the beginning of December. It will consider that issue and whether all greenhouse gases should be included in the target alongside CO2, and it will advise on the first five-year carbon budget. The Committee on Climate Change is an important, authoritative, independent body. We should let it do its work and give us its guidance, and the Government can take the decision.
