UK Policy conflict
British Ministers are still undecided as to targets for further cutting of carbon emissions by business, according to the Financial Times. The Government plans to publish its climate change programme review next Tuesday, so the review will send confused signals if the issue is not resolved then.
“Two government departments have been in dispute over how low the limits on business are set, with the Department of Trade and Industry arguing for a looser limit to give British businesses a competitive advantage and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs pushing for a lower limit that would have more effect on Britain’s overall greenhouse gas output.”
