Environmental Protection and Green Growth

I know that the Labour party has an obsession with carbon emissions, and indeed the Climate Change Act 2008 was evidence of that, but the motion is about job creation. Carbon reduction has led to an increase in consumer and business electricity prices, and to energy-intensive industries relocating outside the United Kingdom, with the British Air Transport Association saying only last week, ““If we continue down this road it will affect the aviation industry's competitiveness,”” so will the hon. Lady explain how that fits with job creation?
