PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
FUEL AND VEHICLE EXCISE DUTY (2 November 2000)

Motion Details

That this House is concerned that the United Kingdom haulage industry is being undermined by excessive costs as a consequence of high vehicle excise duty and the escalating fuel costs which affect almost every household in the United Kingdom and most seriously farmers and rural dwellers; and calls on the Chancellor of the Exchequer to take measures to lessen the impact of high fuel costs on the economic well-being of the United Kingdom and its people, and to promote fair competition and to discourage the illegal transportation of fuel across national boundaries.
