29 June 2011

The St Ives MP, who leads the Lib Dem Environment Team, has actually been satisfying with the UK sustainable biodiesel alliance.

Mr George stated "a number of small companies in Cornwall currently make cash from used cooking oil".

He added: "In order to be able to get this type of industry going it does need simply a bit of lift which comes in the form of tax inevitable."

Biodiesel is a blend of conventional diesel, rapeseed and vegetable oils.
