BIOFUELS

Motion Text

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 of the use of biofuels is to reduce overall greenhouse emissions, a process which would be hampered by the significant destruction of rainforests; notes that the setting of standards 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.
