Budget07: Brown ploughs £100m into green advice
Chancellor invests in helping small business cut emissions
Gordon Brown announced that he intends to increase spending on advice for
cutting carbon emissions by £100m to £240m.
The advice is aimed at small business and will be channelled through Business
Link offices.
Brown said the move was in recognition of the fact that business accounts for
40% of emissions.
He also announced a cut in the rate relief available for empty offices and
retail space.
