David Mundell

Conservative — Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 March 2026

Debate

Hospitality Sector

Contribution

Energy costs are obviously a huge issue for hospitality businesses in a large rural constituency such as Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale, but they are also an issue for hospitality business customers, because generally people travel to those businesses using their cars. Will the Minister and her colleagues in the Department lobby the Prime Minister and the Chancellor to ensure that the proposed rise in fuel duty does not go ahead in September?
