Fuel Prices and the Cost of Living

Debate between Kerry McCarthy and Tessa Munt

Wednesday 16th March 2011 Commons Chamber

[Kerry McCarthy]

I will turn in a moment to the pledge about the stabiliser. The hon. Member for Worcester (Mr Walker) called for it to be implemented very soon, as did the hon. Member for Devizes (Claire Perry), who is no longer in her place.

[Tessa Munt]

Does the hon. Lady agree that the Minister will be very generous in seeing representatives of the FairFuelUK campaign, who have 140,000 signatures on their petition as of today? That is organised by Peter Carroll. The chief executives of the Road Haulage Association and the Freight Transport Association and the operations director of the RAC, together with Quentin Willson, the motor journalist, and I, coming from a hard-hit rural constituency, will discuss this tomorrow. We are suffering the double whammy of domestic oil and fuel oil—

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Dawn Primarolo)]

Order. This is supposed to be an intervention, not an opportunity to make another speech or to put out an advert.
