Rural Fuel Duty Relief Scheme

That this House recognises the high cost of transport faced by those in the most rural areas; asserts the importance of the Rural Fuel Duty Relief Scheme which provides support to remote communities in Scotland, Cumbria, Northumberland, North Yorkshire, on Exmoor and the Isles of Scilly, via a 5ppl rebate to the customers of designated fuel retailers in specific geographic areas; notes that the rebate provided under the Scheme has not been increased in line with inflation since its announcement in 2010, and has lost around 35% of its original purchasing power during that time; stresses the need to harness economic growth in rural areas; and calls on the Government to review the value of the relief, and consider extending the Scheme to additional rural communities.
