Proceeding contribution from Alistair Carmichael (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 25 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

I have explored this very question with one of the local filling station owners in a village near my own in Orkney. He has told me that when the price of petrol falls, as it does from time to time in response to reductions in the wholesale price, he sees absolutely no change in demand. Does my hon. Friend agree that we may be able to use that evidence to offer some reassurance to the hon. Member for Wolverhampton, South-West (Rob Marris)?
