Proceeding contribution from Alistair Carmichael (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 10 February 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Fuel Duty (Rural Areas).

Fuel Duty (Rural Areas)

Indeed. As a Front-Bencher, I am well acquainted with the situation that the hon. Gentleman outlines. For my constituents, it is particularly galling. His constituents look across the border to a foreign country; we look to other parts of the same country. The Treasury is not prepared to deal with that basic unfairness by treating my constituents in the same way as it would expect other constituents to be treated.
