Liquefied Petroleum Gas And Cleaner Fuels And Vehicles

EDM number 31 in 2004-05, proposed by Tim Yeo on 23/11/2004.

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.

This motion has been signed by a total of 72 MPs.
