Proceeding contribution from Philip Hollobone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 10 March 2010. It occurred during Estimates day on Road Users (Taxes and Charges).


Road Users (Taxes and Charges)

The hon. Gentleman said that the cost of motoring had gone down by 14 per cent., although I missed the period that he was citing. In that context, is it a good or a bad thing that the proportion of the petrol price taken as tax has fallen from 75 per cent. in 1997 to 67 per cent. today?
