Conservative — Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale

Speaking in the House of Commons on 18 March 2026

Debate

Fuel Duty

Contribution

Does my right hon. Friend agree that in large rural constituencies such as mine, it is not just about constituents having to pay additional fuel duty at the pump, because they also pay it through everything they buy? Everything has to be transported into these rural areas, and there are services that they require. They therefore pay twice, which makes this tax rise doubly regressive.
