Proceeding contribution from Lord Hain (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 March 2011. It occurred during Grand Committee proceedings (HC) on UK Government's Energy Policy.


UK Government's Energy Policy

Indeed. The right hon. Gentleman is absolutely right. For the good of Wales, the Government must not proceed with next month’s increase in fuel duty, which, because of the consequential, could add 5p to a litre. The previous Labour Government often postponed planned duty increases when world oil prices were rising, as they are now. I urge the Secretary of State to do the same.
