HC Deb 27 October 1995 vol 264 c876W
Mr. Allen

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what is he doing to promote alternatives to petrol-driven vehicles. [39768]

Mr. Norris

The Government are currently considering the role that alternative fuels might play in minimising road transport emissions. To that end, they are continuing to sponsor studies, including the £1.2 million collaborative field trials of alternative fuels announced last year. Results should be available in late 1996.
