The motion

That this House recognises the important role biofuels can play in meeting the UK's Kyoto commitments while encouraging energy security and providing farmers with a valuable new market for crops; regrets that the UK lags behind the rest of the EU in biofuels consumption and has set unambitious targets for biofuels inclusion; believes that global authority on climate change will only come with domestic action; and calls on the Government to set clear and ambitious long-term targets to spur the investment necessary for a successful domestic biofuels industry.
