  The motion supported by the majority of MPs in this vote was:
  
  :That the [http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukdsi/2016/9780111147818/contents draft Climate Change Act 2008 (Credit Limit) Order 2016], which was laid before this House on 30 June, be approved.
  
  The regulations set a cap on the amount of carbon units that may be credited to the net UK carbon account for the 2018-2022 budgetary period at 55,000,000 [http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2009/1257/regulation/3/made carbon units]. (Each unit represents one tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent of greenhouse gasses). The limit excludes credits resulting from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union_Emission_Trading_Scheme the European Union Emissions Trading System].
  
  [http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2011/1602/article/3/made The Climate Change Act 2008 (Credit Limit) Order 2011] set the limit on the net amount of carbon units that may be credited to the net UK carbon account for the 2013-2017 budgetary period is 55,000,000 carbon units.
