Proceeding contribution from Danny Alexander (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 June 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on The Budget as it relates to Wales.

The Budget as it relates to Wales

I cannot give the hon. Gentleman precise details of the locations or the nature of those pilots. In both the coalition agreement and the Budget, however, the Chancellor reaffirmed our commitment to investigating such a measure. It is something for which I, like the hon. Gentleman, have campaigned. It is important to recognise that in the most remote areas there are disproportionately high fuel costs and fewer transport alternatives. That is why we are investigating the measure and we will make announcements in due course.
