HC Deb 28 January 2004 vol 417 cc371-2W
Mr. Simon Thomas

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what information she has collated on the number of forecourts in (a) Scotland, (b) England, (c) Wales and (d) Northern Ireland which sell bio-diesel. [151439]

Mr. Timms

The Department of Trade and Industry does not record the number of forecourts which sell bio-diesel. However, from discussions with biofuels suppliers we estimate the following:

  1. (a) Scotland—13
  2. (b) England—116
  3. (c) Wales—0
  4. (d) Northern Ireland—7

It is worth noting that additionally a significant proportion of biodiesel is supplied in bulk directly to the commercial market.
