Proceeding contribution from Mike Weir (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 July 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HC) and Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

Does my hon. Friend recognise that there is also a disparity in the areas that will be worst hit? In rural areas, where most of the goods come in by road, the increase in VAT on fuel will hit disproportionately hard and will have an even bigger impact on people on low incomes or no income.
