Proceeding contribution from David Simpson (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 10 February 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Fuel Duty (Rural Areas).
Fuel Duty (Rural Areas)
I congratulate the hon. Gentleman on securing this important debate. He will know that the price of fuel has been long-running sore. He touched on the price differential. Northern Ireland is the only part of the United Kingdom that has a land border with the eurozone. Filling stations in the border areas are finding it difficult; one can buy fuel a few yards down the road in the Republic of Ireland at 99p per litre, but it costs almost 116p a few hundred yards in the other direction. I trust that the hon. Gentleman will join me and include Northern Ireland in his debate.
