Motion Text
That this House notes that the price of petrol and diesel is set to rise again in April of this year; further notes that fuel prices are over the 100p per litre mark and continue to rise; recognises that this places a significant financial burden on those who are highly dependent upon their car, those on low incomes and those who live in rural areas where public transport is inadequate; and calls on the Chancellor of the Exchequer to scrap the increase in fuel duty.
