Proceeding contribution from Lord Forsyth of Drumlean (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 21 May 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Energy Bill.
Energy Bill
My Lords, on the subject of having a nerve and the impact of fuel costs on fuel poverty, is not one of the major contributing factors the level of tax which the Government are adding to the cost of fuel? If the Government are so committed to this policy, why do they not reduce the amount of tax being taken so that they do not actually benefit from the increase in fuel costs?
