Proceeding contribution from Peter Ainsworth (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 October 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Climate Change.


Climate Change

Ideally, I am in favour of both approaches. An awful lot of car journeys are unnecessary and cover very short distances, and we support the extension of differentiated rates of vehicle excise duty to send a clear signal to consumers. We are also in favour of the provision of information to enable consumers to make rational choices to reduce the impact of road transport on the environment.
