Proceeding contribution from Stewart Hosie (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 26 April 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance (No. 3) Bill.


Finance (No. 3) Bill

The right hon. Gentleman says that the price of gas is rising. It will be driven up by, possibly, a third because the $75 trigger point established by the Government is equivalent to about 80p a therm. The gas price is currently about 57p a therm. The Government's actions will drive the price up to an extraordinary extent. Did they not understand that before they set their Budget?
