Campbell at PMQS: Blair admits meeting emissions targets will be 'highly challenging

Sir Menzies highlighted the apparent confusion in Whitehall over the Government's ability to meet emissions targets. Sir Menzies pointed out that "the Department of Environment says we must, the Department of Trade & Industry says we can't.' He added, 'Who is right, and who is going to win?"

The Prime Minister admitted it would be 'highly challenging' to meet the target. Sir Menzies also asked the Prime Minister why the government has not implemented many of the low carbon solutions in 2003's Energy White Paper.
