Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of increasing the use of E10 fuel in vehicles.

On 25th February, we published the Government response to the consultation paper “Introducing E10 petrol”. The Government response was accompanied by a full impact assessment and confirmed our intention to introduce E10 petrol in September. In advance of the introduction, we launched a public information campaign on 7th June. The campaign will make drivers aware of the changes we are making and how E10 will play a part in helping reduce carbon emissions.
