Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the timetable is for legislative proposals to be brought forward to provide for a 10 per cent bio-ethanol content in UK petrol supplies.

We intend to bring forward amendments to the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation to increase targets for the supply of renewable fuels from April 2018. We have no current plans for legislation to require ten per cent bioethanol content in UK petrol supplies.
