BIOFUELS

Early day motion 115, tabled 17 May 2005 by James Paice (Conservative). Signed by 88 members.

That this House recognises the important role biofuels can play in meeting the UK's Kyoto commitments while providing farmers with a valuable new market for crops; regrets that the Government has done virtually nothing to promote the real contribution that the countryside can make to renewable energy through biofuels; and calls on the Government to stimulate a viable UK industry in biofuels through duty rebates and the Renewable Fuel Obligation.
