BIOFUELS

Early day motion 36, tabled 15 November 2006 by James Paice (Conservative). Signed by 120 members.

That this House recognises the important role biofuels can play in meeting the UK's Kyoto commitments while encouraging energy security and providing farmers with a valuable new market for crops; regrets that the UK lags behind the rest of the EU in biofuels consumption and has set unambitious targets for biofuels inclusion; believes that global authority on climate change will only come with domestic action; and calls on the Government to set clear and ambitious long-term targets to spur the investment necessary for a successful domestic biofuels industry.

Signatures by party: Conservative 101, Labour 7, Liberal Democrat 5, DUP 2, Plaid Cymru 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Independent 1.
