Tax break for polluters is holding back clean refrigeration technology
Caroline Pidgeon has spoken out about the continued tax break for "red diesel" used to power industrial refrigeration units, when much cleaner alternatives exist.
"It is appalling that the government has decided against closing the tax break.
"Ending the anomaly of the low taxation of red diesel would immediately send out incentives for new technology to be adopted.
"By their failure to take action the Treasury and Defra are defending a tax break which leads to more polluted air."
Caroline had a great weekend in Southall celebrating the Sikh festival of Vaisakhi.
Caroline joined a great team of Liberal Democrats from around London campaigning for candidate Matthew Bryant in Lambeth's Thornton ward by-election. The election is set for 11th April.
Caroline joined friends, Lib Dem colleagues and over a million fellow protestors in London on Saturday 23rd March to demand a People's Vote on Brexit.
