Proceeding contribution from Christopher Fraser (Conservative) 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 should like to thank the hon. Gentleman. This is a first-class debate on a very important subject. My constituency in Norfolk covers 1,200 square miles, a very large proportion of which is at sea level or below, and there is no chance that anyone will ever drive out from Norwich to try to get petrol in the fens—an area that, as I am sure he will accept, has not only deprivation but many people for whom a car is a necessity and not a luxury.
