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)

Doubtless in the past many of those petrol stations would have had post offices attached, too. That is how people make a business work in a small island community. The post office on its own, the petrol pump on its own and the shop on its own may not be viable businesses, but bring all three together and there can be something that functions. That is why those businesses are important.
