That this House welcomes the Chancellor of the Exchequer's review of red diesel usage announced in the Spring Budget 2017 statement; expresses concern at the amount of air pollution caused by diesel-powered transport refrigeration units; notes that those units can emit up to six times as much nitrogen oxide and almost 30 times as much particulate matter as a Euro 6 truck engine; further notes that those units are often run on red diesel, which is subsidised by HM Treasury; believes that subsidising red diesel inhibits the Government's plans to support the development and take-up of cleaner technologies; notes that if the UK's 84,000 transport refrigeration units became zero emission it would equate to taking 4 million Euro 6 diesel cars off the UK's roads; and therefore urges the Government to act and end red diesel subsidies for transport refrigeration units.

That this House condemns the actions of companies, such as the retailer Matalan, who continue to employ the organisation Smart Parking Ltd to manage car parking for its outlets, including its store in Worksop, Nottinghamshire where recently it issued a parking fine against severely disabled shopper, Richard Cheshire, a wheelchair user, who despite the fact that prior to his visit had called the company to check it held the product and enquired whether he could park nearby because of his disabilities and then again on arrival, was requested by staff to confirm his permission to park at the site; is shocked by the company's continued refusal to cancel the fine and the issuing of threats against this shopper; and considers that such behaviour is an affront against the needs of disabled people and other customers.
