I am aware that work is being done by COMHAR, the Sustainable Development Partnership, on individual greenhouse gas emission allocations, including cap and share. My Department will examine the outcome of that work when it becomes available, particularly in the context of the Government decision announced in Budget 2009 to proceed with the introduction of a carbon levy.
