Proceeding contribution from Gavin Strang (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 23 May 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Energy White Paper.


Energy White Paper

I agree with my right hon. Friend that renewable energy sources have a vital role to play. He will be aware, however, that there are apprehensions that the production of certain imported biofuels is environmentally damaging and can even have a negative effect on net emissions of greenhouse gases; in other words, it can increase them. What steps are being taken to address that issue?
