Proceeding contribution from Alistair Carmichael (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.
Finance Bill
The briefing I received from the Road Haulage Association this afternoon makes it clear that it sees the fuel duty regulator as a short-term fix at best, and that what it is looking for in the medium to long term is an essential users' rebate. That would be easy to introduce. There is the precedent of bus operators getting duty rebates. Does the hon. Gentleman agree that that would be simple, targeted and very cheap, and that if all the parties in this House were to work together we should be able to devise some mechanism for driving this forward?
