  The majority of MPs voted to keep amount by which the UK's greenhouse gas emissions may be offset by credits when determining the net state of the "carbon account" the same for the period 2018-22 as it was for 2013-17. 
  
  The UK has a "carbon account", and carbon emissions, corrected for credits and debits are compared with a "carbon budget".
