Proceeding contribution from Tobias Ellwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

I visited Scotland recently and visited some farmers who operate combine harvesters. They used to pay 36p for diesel, but it has now gone up to 70p. It costs them about £700 to fill up their vehicles. Does the hon. Gentleman agree that we cannot wait for the pre-Budget report, and that we must act now? That is why some of these new clauses must be agreed to. We should not ignore this opportunity to seize the moment.
