Commenting on Hilary Benn’s response to the consultation on the Climate Change Bill, Shadow Environment Secretary, Peter Ainsworth said:

“While we welcome the changes that have strengthened the Climate Change Bill, it alone will not reduce our carbon emissions. The whole point of the Bill is to change the mindset so that climate change is not an add-on, but central to the way the Government thinks and act. The Government must now ensure that its policies match up to its rhetoric.”
