Proceeding contribution from Lembit Opik (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.
Finance Bill
The inelasticity can be explained for rural areas because there is no other way to travel. Does the hon. Gentleman agree that it is that very dependence on diesel and petrol-powered vehicles in rural areas that makes people feel impotent in the face of these increases? Faced with a choice between driving less or reducing their expenditure on other things, they are forced to choose the latter.
