§ Mr. ChidgeyTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what assessment he has made of the potential economic benefits deriving from environmental improvements of(a) City diesel and (b) oxygenated fuel; and what consideration he has given to the introduction of fiscal incentives to encourage their use. [40716]
§ Mr. OppenheimWe keep the potential economic and environmental benefits of City diesel and oxygenated fuel under review.
