PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
LPG AND CLEANER VEHICLES (16 May 2005)

That this House believes that the increasing number of vehicles in the United Kingdom propelled by liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is a sign that the public increasingly recognises the environmental and health benefits of liquefied petroleum gas over petrol and diesel; notes the significant contribution that a switch to LPG from diesel would make to improving air quality and one from petrol to LPG would make 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.
