  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  
  @ MP voted no against requiring the setting of a target range for the amount of carbon dioxide (or other greenhouse gases) produced per unit of electricity generated. 
  @ MP voted aye to require the setting of a target range for the amount of carbon dioxide (or other greenhouse gases) produced per unit of electricity generated. 
  
  The majority of MPs voted against requiring the setting of a target range for the amount of carbon dioxide (or other greenhouse gases) produced per unit of electricity generated. 
  
  The text of the approved amendment stated:
  
  :amendment 11, page 1, line 4, after âensureâ, insertâ âthat a decarbonisation target range is set and thatâ.
  
  this amendment would have taken effect on Clause 1(1) of the Bill which stated:
  
  :It is the duty of the Secretary of State to ensure, in respect of each year in relation to which a decarbonisation target range is set, that the carbon intensity of electricity generation in Great Britain is no greater than the maximum permitted level of the decarbonisation target range.
  
  
  A âdecarbonisation target rangeâ, in relation to any year, means a range for the carbon intensity of electricity generation in Great Britain. Carbon intensity is a measure of the amount of carbon dioxide (or other greenhouse gases) produced per unit of electricity generated.[1][2]
