- Answer
-
Motorists on the Scottish islands and the Isles of Scilly are benefitting from the 5p per litre discount on pump prices since the Government introduced the rural fuel rebate pilot scheme earlier this year.
The Government will consider whether to seek EU approval for an extension of the scheme to other remote parts of the UK that are likely to display similar characteristics to the islands.
