David Cameron said back in May 2010 "I want this coalition to be the greenest government ever" -14th May 2010
The Promise: Lib Dems and Tories promised before the election to extend the green subsidy for energy from small-scale solar panel installations to around 6,000 people who had put up panels before the launch of the government subsidy scheme.
The Truth: Last week Chris Huhne, the climate and energy secretary, made clear that the coalition would not extend the scheme and such early adopters would have to be content with the "warm glow of being pioneers." - The Guardian today.
The Promise: Lib Dems and Tories promised before the election to make it a criminal offence to possess, or bring into the country, illegal timber. Campaigners say such legal measures are necessary to help curb the 350m-650m square meters of forest that is illegally logged every year – possibly as much as 40% of the total market.
The Truth: The coalition government makes clear it will not honor a pledge! - In correspondence from a government minister to the Green MP Caroline Lucas.
