Lib dems come out on top in green test

David Laws, MP for Yeovil Constituency has welcomed the results of an audit of policies of the three main political parties that shows Menzies Campbell’s party as the best for the environment.

The audit was carried out by a group of major environmental organisations, including Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace, the National Trust, the RSPB, the Woodland Trust and WWF-UK.

It awarded the parties “green lights” according to how green their policies were. The Conservatives scored zero, Labour one and the Liberal Democrats three.

David Laws said,

“This audit has confirmed what we have been saying in South Somerset for many years - Liberal Democrats are leading the battle of ideas for protecting the environment and cutting the pollution people cause.

“At our conference next week we will be debating plans that will further strengthen our policies to clean up the environment and halt global warming.”
