Proceeding contribution from Alan Reid (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 March 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Scotland Bill.

Scotland Bill

The hon. Gentleman should not denigrate the fuel duty derogation in the way that he has. On large islands such as Mull and Islay, people do a significant mileage. The use of fuel is not just about the number of miles one drives; if one drives on single track roads and has to stop and start all the time, one uses a lot more fuel. The important thing is to get the derogation established on the islands and to make it workable. It can then be extended to remote parts of the mainland.
