MPs support diesel action

A group of MPs have signed an Early Day Motion calling on the Government to raise awareness of the dangers of diesel spills.

Responding to a request by the British Motorcycle Federation, the group was led by biking MP Bill Wiggin, chair of the All Party Motorcycle Group and Conservative Shadow Environment, Food and Rural Affair Minister. Fellow APMG members Lembit Opik and Stephen Pound also signed, as did Peter Bottomley, and a further 20 MPs.

“Diesel spillage is a real danger to all two-wheeled vehicles and it just shouldn’t be happening,” said Wiggin. “We have an obligation to make the roads as safe as possible for all road users. That’s why I and my fellow signatories were more than happy to table this motion.”
