Further to my post on the CAN Bill, I am highlighting a comment from Barbara, which speaks for itself:
This is part of the lengthy reply I received from Lib Dem MP Edward Morello for west Dorset when I urged him not to vote for it – don’t you like the use of the word ‘robust’ seems to crop up everywhere:
‘Despite significant support the Government has successfully moved a motion to adjourn the second reading debate on the Bill. Whilst I am disappointed over the adjournment, I am pleased that the Government has committed to adopt many of the measures of the Bill into upcoming environmental legislation.
The Liberal Democrats remain committed to enacting robust environmental legislation and will continue to advocate for legally binding climate and nature targets. My colleagues and I will continue to emphasise the urgency of addressing the climate crisis and the importance of holding the Government accountable for its environmental commitments.
Thank you for taking the time to contact me on this matter. I can assure you that I will press the Government to ensure that they keep to the commitment that they made to the Environment today.’
