British MPs who lobbied the government to scrap its ban on petrol cars and instead back unproven fuel additives were led by a salesman for the products, a joint investigation by openDemocracy has found.
Last August, the ‘Fair Fuel’ all-party parliamentary group (APPG) published a 64-page report that urged the government to investigate the use of fuel catalysts, rather than going ahead with a proposed ban on petrol and diesel cars by 2030.
The report, which claims fuel catalysts are “proven to cut emissions and fuel consumption in fossil fuels”, states that it was “produced and paid for” by FairFuel UK, a campaign organisation that has opposed fuel duties and environmental measures for more than a decade.
