Government's failure to meet green targets astonishing - Webb
8 May 2008


Mr Steve Webb

Commenting on today’s [Thursday] Policy Exchange report, which shows the Government is likely to miss more than half of the green targets it has set since 1997, Liberal Democrat Shadow Environment Secretary, Steve Webb said:

"For more than a decade, the Government has made big promises on the environment. Yet this report shows they have completely failed to deliver.

"It is astonishing that even when the Government sets its own green targets, it consistently misses them.

"It is vital that ministers stick to the targets in the Climate Change Bill to prevent looming climate chaos."
