HOME FUEL OIL PRICES
Early day motion 1503, tabled 7 May 2008 by Michael Weir (Scottish National Party). Signed by 30 members.
That this House notes the very substantial rises in the price of home fuel oil which many people, particularly in rural areas, rely on for heating; believes that urgent action is needed to tackle fuel poverty amongst those relying on such oil as well as those who use gas and electricity; calls on the Government to investigate the soaring price of fuel oil; and believes this industry should be subject to the same regulation as gas and electricity suppliers.
