Fuel Duty Increase

EDM number 1131 in 2008-09, proposed by Nigel Evans on 19/03/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Roads and Taxation.

That this House notes that a record number of Britons signed up for jobless benefits last month and that two million Britons are now unemployed; regrets that 85 small and medium-sized enterprises are closing every day; recognises the importance of cars to small businesses especially in rural areas such as the Ribble Valley; understands that the public transport network is poor in rural areas and as such families rely on their cars; fully appreciates that this is a time of economic hardship for all families in the UK; fully supports the Automobile Association in its call to have fuel duty frozen to support drivers during the recession; and calls on the Government to abandon its plans for a two pence increase in fuel duty in April 2009.

This motion has been signed by a total of 14 MPs.
