§ Mr. Martyn JonesTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what information he has on the present biodiesel production in(a) the United Kingdom, (b) other EU nations and (c) the USA. [21867]
§ Mr. JackThe UK biodiesel industry is at an early stage and there is currently no commercial production of biodiesel in the UK. However, a proportion of oilseeds grown for industrial use on set-aside land in the UK is exported for biodiesel production elsewhere in the European Community.
No official information is available on biodiesel production in other member states or the USA.
