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)

The hon. Gentleman makes a legitimate point. I commend him for approaching the argument with seriousness and respect, which I hope will be emulated by the Minister. We accept that there are issues to do with housing, including its availability, so we provide support for the housing sector through councils and housing associations. Surely the same principle should apply to transport where there is no other choice.
