Details of environmental legislation need to be explained

The government needs to explain more details of environmental legislation in order for it to make an impact, it has been said.

According to Paul Hamblyn, consultancy services manager at Pulse 24, the recently announced Green Deal could be effective at creating more jobs and reducing the amount of energy used in the country.

However, he also noted that there has not been a lot said on the environmental legislation, which has left it in an ambiguous state.

"There is an awful lot of detail still to be resolved," Mr Hamblyn said.

He added that more information of the environmental legislation should emerge over the next year, adding that it will enable the public to learn "how we are all going to be able to enjoy the benefits" of the bill.

Last month, the government revealed in its Comprehensive Spending Review that £1 billion will be put aside for the green investment bank.

Chancellor George Osborne also stated that initiatives will be introduced to motivate families to limit the amount of power they use by encouraging the use of energy efficiency measures in homes.
