AGRICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL FUEL PRICE RISES

Early day motion 1844, tabled 28 October 2004 by Michael Weir (Scottish National Party). Signed by 12 members.

That this House notes with growing concern the dramatic increases in fuel prices for both the agricultural and fishing industries during recent months, resulting from the instability of the world oil price; further notes the Treasury has neglected its responsibilities to these industries by allowing these biased increases; and calls on the Treasury to examine ways by which relief can be provided to the agricultural and fishing industries, as they are of vital importance to the Scottish economy.
