Beverley and Holderness MP, Graham Stuart, today urged the Government to implement a fuel duty stabiliser in the forthcoming budget.
Graham said: “Motorists find themselves paying ever higher prices at the pump. It is especially serious for those of us living in rural areas, where cars are essential, either for getting to work, doing the weekly shop, or even enjoying a weekend out with the family.”
And he added: “Small businesses are also exceptionally vulnerable to wildly unstable oil prices. I hope this Government, unlike the previous one, realises assaulting the motorist with unfair fuel duty increases is not the way to keep the wheels of the economy turning.
“That is why I have signed up to the FairFuelUK petition, calling for a fuel duty stabiliser and a decrease in the present level of duty. A solution must be found so already squeezed motorists are given a sorely needed break.”
George Osborne is due to deliver his budget on 23 March when it is hoped a fuel duty stabiliser will be announced.
