VAUXHALL VECTRA

Early day motion 522, tabled 13 April 1999 by Helen Clark (Labour). Signed by 26 members.

That this House welcomes the effort being made by the motor industry to heighten public interest in liquefied petroleum gas; recognises that liquefied petroleum gas is an alternative road fuel that can greatly reduce emissions; recognises that liquefied petroleum gas vehicles are as competitive and readily available as conventionally powered cars and up to 30 per cent. cheaper to run; and congratulates Mark Ticehurst for coming second in the Vectra V6 race on 5th March when driving a Vauxhall Vectra powered by liquefied petroleum gas, especially as all the other competitors were driving fossil-fuelled cars.

Signatures by party: Labour 19, Liberal Democrat 3, Conservative 2, Labour/Co-operative 1, UUP 1.
