LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS AND CLEANER FUELS AND VEHICLES

Early day motion 31, tabled 23 November 2004 by Tim Yeo (Conservative). Signed by 72 members.

That this House believes that the fact that there is an increasing number of vehicles in the United Kingdom propelled by liquefied petroleum gas is a sign that the public increasingly recognises the environment and health benefits of liquefied petroleum gas over petrol and diesel; notes the significant contribution that a switch to liquefied petroleum gas from diesel would make to improving air quality and, from petrol, to reducing carbon dioxide emissions; believes that all new or refurbished filling stations should be encouraged to provide liquefied petroleum gas refuelling facilities; and calls on the Government to take measures to encourage the take-up of cleaner, greener fuels and the development of more efficient, environmentally friendly vehicles.
