Fuel Costs For Agriculture (EDM250)

Fuel Costs For Agriculture

EDM number 250 in 2004-05, proposed by Mike Weir on 01/12/2004.

That this House notes that the figures from the National Statistics Office show that red diesel prices have risen from just under 23 pence per litre to nearly 30 per litre over the last year, an increase of nearly 30 per cent.; further notes that the Home Grown Cereals Authority survey highlighted an increase in haulage costs in the last year to agriculture of 6.5 per cent. per average journey; believes that such cost increases are seriously detrimental to a vital rural industry; and calls upon the Chancellor to examine ways by which relief can be provided to this important industry.

This motion has been signed by a total of 17 MPs.
