Proceeding contribution from John Hemming (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 12 December 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Car Manufacturing.


Car Manufacturing

The hon. Gentleman mentions one of my hobby horses: one can take a car from Solihull, adapt it with a dual-fuel tank and run it primarily on pure vegetable oil. Does he not agree that the Government should examine why we have to buy the adaptations from Germany and why we do not create them in the UK? They should recognise that it is possible to run a diesel Land Rover Discovery on about 85 per cent. vegetable oil.
