Commenting on research published today showing that four wheel drives could have severe consequences on the environment, Norman Baker MP, Liberal Democrat Shadow Environment Secretary, said:

"Farmers and those in rural areas may need these vehicles but most owners are being selfish and leaving an unnecessarily large footprint on the earth."
