Steve Webb MP, the Liberal Democrat Shadow Environment Secretary, was in Cambridge yesterday to talk about the threat of climate change. Steve visited the City Council and local businesses with environmental concerns, before attending a LibDem Policy Forum at the Friends Meeting House.
Before his visit Steve said
"Climate change is bigger than any one political party, so support for the Liberal Democrat campaign for an 80% cut by 2050 is welcomed wherever it comes from.
"The Government has got the emissions target wrong and once again it looks like its own backbench MPs will have to rebel to get ministers to do the right thing.
"Both Gordon Brown and David Cameron must come off the fence on this issue. By allowing his Tories to constantly abstain David Cameron is showing how hollow his green credentials really are.
"The Climate Change Bill is too important to be watered down. The Liberal Democrats will be tabling an amendment today to make sure there will be a vote on the 80% target."
