HC Deb 21 January 1993 vol 217 c391W
Mrs. Ewing

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what consideration has been given by his Department to the possibility of using set-aside land for the purposes of producing vegetable-based biodiesel.

Mr. Curry

Oilseeds may be grown for biodiesel production both on arable land, with the benefit of the oilseed area payment and, where growers can contract to supply a processor, on set-aside land with the benefit of the lower set-aside payment.
