MSP demands climate action
EDINBURGH Central MSP Sarah Boyack has restated her commitment to ensuring the Scottish Parliament passes a strong Climate Change Bill.
The Shadow Cabinet Secretary for the Environment and Rural Affairs has lodged amendments to the current proposals, saying she wants to strengthen support for energy efficiency. She said: "We can do more to tackle fuel poverty while tackling climate change.
"There is a strong appetite amongst the renewables industry to see a mass market in technologies which in other European and developed countries are now seen as commonplace.
"But we lack the policy measures and urgency to make the most of Scotland's potential."
