Proceeding contribution from Greg Knight (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)

Is my hon. Friend aware that, even if the British Government were to freeze all taxes on motorists and do nothing else, the situation is about to get worse? Did he know that that bloated and unaccountable organisation called the European Union is about to introduce, as its first direct tax, a petrol tax on people purchasing petrol across the European Union? Experts have estimated that that will add about £3.2 billion to the cost of motoring.
