Green party MP Caroline Lucas is calling for a £70bn programme of 'green quantitative easing' (GQE) to be launched, in a bid to set the country on track for a "genuinely green economy". 

The leader of the green party launched the call and said it was time for the bank of england to help create green jobs and stabalise the green economy through this Quantitative Easing. Ms Lucas will now be calling on fellow MP's to support her proposals to then be raised at the next appearance of Sir Mervyn King at the Treasury Select Committee.
