uin	119384
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/12/2017 answer text <p>The Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership’s report “Successfully Deploying E10 Petrol” published in September 2017 recommended increasing the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation which will encourage the increased deployment of low carbon fuels including E10. Subject to Parliamentary approval, we plan to increase the obligation on fuel suppliers from April 2018. The working group is considering other recommendations from the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership report in tandem with preparations to introduce new fuel labelling requirements for all road fuels by October 2018. The group is focussed on ensuring that there is clear consumer advice, including on vehicle compatibility for E10 fuel, ahead of the introduction of the new labels. This should help enable a smooth introduction of E10 should commercial fuel retailers choose to supply it.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 18/12/2017 16:41:24 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
