The Prime Minister has published business plans that set out in detail the work of Government for the next four years.

In the DECC’s plan, Environment secretary Chris Huhne sets out his department’s priorites:

1. Save energy with the Green Deal and support vulnerable consumers
2. Deliver secure energy on the way to a low carbon energy future
3. Drive ambitious action on climate change at home and abroad
4. Manage our energy legacy responsibly and cost-effectively

The PM said:

“For a long time, government’s default position has been to solve problems by hoarding more power to the centre – passing laws, creating regulations, setting up taskforces. The result is that Britain is now one of the most centralised countries in the developed world.

“We will be the first government in a generation to leave office with much less power in Whitehall than we started with. We are going to take power from government and hand it to people, families and communities – and how we will do that is set out right here in these Business Plans.”
