I have been informed that TfL will not accept vehicles which have been converted to use LPG as being compliant within the ULEZ as TfL has no way of verifying at any one time which fuel type is being used.

Will you instruct TfL to reconsider its policy which penalises drivers who have made a decision to reduce pollution created by their vehicles?
