§ Mr. AllenTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what steps he has taken to encourage the use of low sulphur fuel by bus operators. [39905]
§ Mr. NorrisRegulations are already in place—SI 1994 No. 2295—which require low sulphur diesel fuel from 1 October 1996. This new fuel, which will be widely available and not restricted to certain market sectors, will bring benefits, in terms of particulate reduction, across the whole of the diesel fleet.
