PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
BRITISH BIOFUELS (15 June 2005)
Motion Details
That this House acknowledges the effective contribution that transport biofuels can make in tackling climate change, achieving Kyoto targets, reinforcing rural economies, and improving levels of fuel security for the UK; welcomes the announcement made by the Government in 2004, that it is considering seriously a renewable transport fuel obligation; and calls upon the Government to introduce as a matter of urgency such an obligation so as to promote rapidly an escalating increase in market share of transport biofuels by 2010.
