§ 47. Mr. Matthew TaylorTo ask the Minister of Transport what plans he has to increase fuel efficiency in road vehicles. [24935]
§ Ms Glenda JacksonThere are a number of measures in place to increase fuel efficiency in road vehicles, including the 6 per cent. annual fuel duty increases announced by the Chancellor in July, the Cleaner Vehicles Task Force and negotiating a voluntary agreement with motor manufacturers at the European level. We will also be considering further measures as part of the climate change programme that we will be developing later this year.
