I have been a passionate environmentalist all my life. Responding to local campaigns I successfully introduced two private members bills - the fly tipping laws - still in use today and the doorstep recycling duties of councils.
As Minister of State for Energy and Climate Change I took the climate change bill (the first in the world) through parliament and represented the UK at Copenhagen. I am proud of the UK’s international role and the huge change we are making in renewable energy and energy efficiency.
I am delighted by the launch of our Green Manifesto.
