Infrastructure Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Amber Rudd (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 26 January 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Infrastructure Bill [Lords].

I am going to make progress.

On fugitive emissions, I have spoken about the report produced by Professor David MacKay and Dr Timothy Stone. Their report determined that, with the right safeguards in place, the net effect on greenhouse gas emissions from shale gas production will be relatively small. We report fugitive emissions from onshore energy extraction annually as part of our international reporting obligations on the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions. That is done in accordance with guidelines produced by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and is audited annually by a group of international experts.
