29 June 2011
Liberal Democrat MP Andrew George is backing a project to keep tax breaks for business who produce biodiesel.
Producers converting cooking oil into biodiesel presently gain from a 20p differential however that is due to end next April.
The St Ives MP, who leads the Lib Dem Environment Team, has actually been meeting the UK sustainable alliance.
Mr George stated "a number of small businesses in Cornwall presently generate income from used cooking oil".
He included: "In order to be able to get this sort of industry going it does require simply a bit of lift which comes in the kind of tax inescapable."
Biodiesel is a mix of traditional diesel, rapeseed and veggie oils.
