Climate change Bill

Last year around two thirds of MPs called for a Climate Change Bill to reduce the UK's carbon dioxide by at least 3% a year. If you were one of them, thank you.
The Government has now produced a Draft Climate Change Bill. I welcome this, but it must be tougher to meet our climate challenge. The Bill must:
- reduce emissions every year so the UK reaches a target of at least 80% cuts by 2050
- include annual targets so politicians can't blame preceding Governments for missed targets
- include emissions from international aviation and shipping
Please assure me of your support for a tougher Bill.
