TESCO FIVE PENCE OFF PETROL SCHEME

Early day motion 2071, tabled 16 July 2008 by Lindsay Hoyle (Labour). Signed by 29 members.

That this House calls on Tesco to reverse its decision to exclude infant formula and baby food from the five pence per litre fuel promotion whereby customers who spend £50 receive a fuel voucher; notes that customers purchasing £50 of alcohol will be granted a voucher but families who spend money on baby food out of necessity cannot use that money spent towards a voucher; considers that the offer encourages greater spending on alcohol, which flies in the face of supporting families with young children; and further notes the contradiction that Tesco believes that Every Little Helps except when it comes to helping little ones.

Signatures by party: Labour 23, Liberal Democrat 3, Conservative 2, Independent 1.
