Proceeding contribution from Gregory Campbell (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 touched on the issue of fraud, and I can appreciate the extreme difficulties that come from rurality and peripherality. Does he agree that one of the issues in Northern Ireland is that Revenue and Customs has not been diligent enough in dealing with the oil that is illegally brought across from the Irish Republic to be sold in Northern Ireland and that hundreds of millions of pounds are therefore lost to the Treasury?
