FUEL TOURISM

Early day motion 930, tabled 24 February 2010 by Norman Baker (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 36 members.

That this House notes the high frequency of hauliers transporting large amounts of fuel into the UK via ferries and the Channel Tunnel to avoid UK fuel duty charges; further notes with concern that this practice may compromise safety on these routes by increasing the risk of fire; and therefore calls on the Government to impose a limit on the amount of fuel individual hauliers may transport into the UK of 100 litres per vehicle.

Signatures by party: Liberal Democrat 21, Labour 11, Conservative 2, DUP 1, Independent 1.
