Dec 7 2006

The Chancellor today announced a package of environmental measures to tackle climate change as part of his Pre-Budget Report.

Following the announcement, Secretary of State for the Environment, David Miliband said:

"The UK is widely recognised for its domestic and international commitment to the battle against climate change. The Stern Report has changed the terms of debate about the economy of climate change, and the centrality of emissions reduction through the pricing of environmental damage is central to the Eddington and Barker review. The Pre-Budget Report contains important measures on the international and domestic front consistent with the Government's belief that every part of the economy and society must play its part in the battle against climate change.

"I look forward to further work in the months ahead within Government and with business, Local Government and the voluntary sector to maximise the environmental benefit of today's measures."
