Natural Gas Vehicles

EDM number 384 in 1998-99, proposed by Dave Watts on 03/03/1999.

That this House recognises that vehicles powered by natural gas can help to combat air pollution because their emissions are cleaner and less detrimental to public health; notes that for Britain to reap these environmental benefits there now needs to be a switch from traditional fuels in greater numbers and that this is unlikely unless the economics of purchase and running costs are an incentive for fleet operators; and therefore calls on the Government to consider an immediate reduction in the road fuel duty for natural gas to the EU minimum of eight pence per kilogram as in neighbouring countries and by this means to stimulate demand for an investment in natural gas vehicles to reduce air pollution from road transport.

This motion has been signed by a total of 72 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
