Biofuels (No. 2)

EDM number 1441 in 2006-07, proposed by Timothy Farron on 10/05/2007.

That this House recognises the need for standards to be set regarding the manufacture of biofuels to restrict levels of deforestation and destruction of valuable wildlife habitats; further recognises that the objective for biofuels is to reduce overall greenhouse emissions, a process which would be hampered by the significant destruction of rainforests; notes that this would boost British farmers who wish to grow crops for the purpose of manufacturing biofuels; and urges the Government to begin setting standards for the manufacture of biofuels.

This motion has been signed by a total of 53 MPs.
