Written Question
Rural Areas: Cost of Living
Thursday 17th July 2014

Asked by: Albert Owen (Labour - Ynys Môn)

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what plans she has to reduce the cost of living in rural communities.

Answered by Dan Rogerson

Labour presided over the longest and deepest recession since the war.

We have taken action to elevate the impact on households.

For example, rural households spend a large proportion of their income on travel.

We have reduced fuel duty meaning pump prices are 13p per litre lower than they would have been under Labour's plans.

This means it is £7 cheaper for motorists every time they fill their tank.
