Proceeding contribution from Joan Walley (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 June 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Biofuels.
Biofuels
I have been listening very carefully to my hon. Friend. Does he agree that it is important that we have a vision and a goal and that we take action? However, when we take that action it is important that we put in the necessary sustainability standards; otherwise, that action will distort the very objective that we seek to achieve. I agree with him that we need those standards, but we need to get them right. We do not want the Government to rush ahead until they have the standards and safeguards there.
