Responding to the Prime Minister's speech today, Greenpeace's chief policy adviser Ruth Davis, said:

"The Prime Minister's speech today suggests he has completely outsourced the task of tackling climate change and supporting Britain's green businesses to his Liberal Democrat colleagues.

It is now vital for the Conservative's green credentials that in the coming weeks David Cameron stands up to his party's Tea Party tendency and reasserts his personal commitment to protecting the environment and creating green jobs.

Green growth could form a central plank of our economic recovery, but investors urgently need to hear that from the Prime Minister himself, not just from his energy ministers."
