Tax On Liquified Petroleum Gas

EDM number 1129 in 2013-14, proposed by Graham Stringer on 27/02/2014.
Categorised under the topics of Oil, petrol and natural gas, Roads and Taxation.

That this House welcomes the contribution that road fuel gases such as compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) have made in reducing environmentally damaging emissions from transport whilst cutting fuel costs for hard-pressed drivers; supports the commitment to maintain the fuel duty differential between most road fuel gases and petrol for 10 years; expresses concern however that the most successful and widely used road fuel gas LPG is singled-out for annual increases in duty until 2024; challenges HM Treasury's rationale that LPG is not as environmentally beneficial as CNG; notes the study of 9,000 modern cars undertaken by Atlantic Consulting in 2014 which found that LPG overall is just as clean, if not cleaner, in its emissions than CNG; and calls on the Government to change its policy and treat LPG on the same basis as CNG for the next 10 years.

This motion has been signed by a total of 19 MPs.
