FUEL PRICE INCREASES

Early day motion 1210, tabled 15 December 2010 by David Morris (Conservative). Signed by 14 members.

That this House notes with concern the recent increases in fuel prices; further notes that this increase has made it hard for haulage companies across the country; demands that oil producers end the OPEC cartel that pushes up prices and restricts the free market; further demands that the Government looks urgently at fuel tax cuts to help all drivers and essential user rebates specifically to help businesses such as hauliers; and believes that fuel price reductions will help the economy and give much needed respite to the hard-pressed haulage industry.
