Biodiesel

Lord Hughes of Woodside Excerpts

Tuesday 18th October 2011 Lords Chamber

[Earl Attlee]

My Lords, I fully appreciate the impact of very high fuel prices—I buy a considerable amount of fuel myself—but it is a little wide of this particular issue.

[Lord Hughes of Woodside]

My Lords, will the Minister explain to the House, for my benefit, as well as everybody else’s, what exactly his answer to my noble friend was, because I do not understand it?

[Earl Attlee]

My Lords, perhaps I will run over it again. The answer is that there is plenty of incentive from the issue of the renewable transport fuel certificate to suppliers to continue to supply biodiesel into the market. It is just a different way of achieving the same policy and complying with the renewable energy directive.

Lord Hughes of Woodside Excerpts

Monday 23rd May 2011 Lords Chamber

[Earl Attlee]

My Lords, my noble friend makes an important point. Some of the congestion caused by roadworks has produced some traffic activity and therefore produced some pollution.

[Lord Hughes of Woodside]

Would the shorter and more accurate Answer to the Question asked by my noble friend Lord Berkeley be that no one is responsible?

[Earl Attlee]

No, my Lords. Everyone is responsible.
