First, following up from my last blog entry where I was a little sceptical towards what the budget would bring in terms of greenness. Apparently, this budget is the ‘world’s first carbon budget’ that aims to ‘provide businesses with the certainty they need to justify investment in low carbon technologies and help create hundreds of thousands of high-value jobs’ with ‘over £1.4 billion of extra targeted support in the low-carbon sector.’ However, some say that this supposedly green budget is nothing more than a ‘whitewash’. And although the rest of the budget was highly criticised all over the media world, the ICT industry saw some benefits as identified by Intellect.
