EDM number 930 in 2009-10, proposed by Norman Baker on 24/02/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Oil, petrol and natural gas.

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.

This motion has been signed by a total of 36 MPs.
