Fuel Costs And The Fishing Industry
EDM number 1142 in 1999-00, proposed by Alex Salmond on 13/11/2000.
That this House notes that the fishing industry, which is already in a difficult situation due to the shortage of supplies, is being hard-pressed by the rising cost of fuel oil; regrets that the Chancellor in his Pre-Budget Report, having delivered welcome concessions to the road hauliers and farmers, did not act to relieve the cost pressure on the fishing industry; further notes that other European countries have acted to protect their fleet from rising fuel costs; and calls on the Chancellor to do likewise.
This motion has been signed by a total of 20 MPs.
