Lib Dem hits out at green lobby

Environmental campaigners have come under fire from the Liberal Democrats for failing to make enough protests in the run up to the general election.

"Green groups have become too muted and the government has got away with more than it should have got away with," Lib Dem spokesman Norman Baker said.

Campaigners had become too close to ministers, he added.

Labour's Elliott Morley said the lack of protests meant the government was getting its environment policy right.
