Labour accused of climate Bill chaos

26/02/2007

Labour was accused of downgrading its commitment to tackle global warming yesterday as Tony Blair and David Miliband the Environment Secretary were charged with reneging on a promise to introduce a Climate Change Bill. The claim by the Liberal Democrats came after the Government confirmed plans to consult on a draft environment Bill. The Bill was specifically listed in last year's Queen's Speech programme of forthcoming legislation after pressure from David Cameron's Conservatives and Sir Menzies Campbell'sLiberal Democrats.
