Proceeding contribution from Dari Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 June 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Biofuels.


Biofuels

Does my hon. Friend also accept the findings of the Renewable Energy Association that the additional land needed for biofuels could be 75 million to 220 million hectares? The important point is that that will account for 2 per cent. of productive land by 2030. Will my hon. Friend acknowledge that we are not talking about taking masses of land away from food production? We are taking a very small amount.
