GREEN TAXES NEEDED TO HIT EMISSIONS TARGET - HUHNE11.43.33am GMT Mon 5th Mar 2007 Commenting reports that the Government will miss its 2020 target of reducing emissions by 20%, Liberal Democrat Shadow Environment Secretary, Chris Huhne MP said: "It's time that the Government delivered on its targets, rather than just congratulating itself for setting them. "The next budget must tackle emissions from cars and planes through a green tax switch that shifts the tax burden from people onto pollution. "The Government also has a gaping hole in its climate change strategy due to its failure to tackle emissions from homes and offices."
