Conduct Of The Rt Hon Member For Yeovil

EDM number 2320 in 1992-93, proposed by David Shaw on 14/07/1993.

That this House notes that the Right honourable Member for Yeovil has, during a visit to Christchurch, attacked the decision to impose VAT on domestic fuel despite fighting the 1992 General Election with a Liberal Party manifesto describing an energy tax as a key proposal and supporting a Liberal Party policy document, entitled Costing The Earth, which states that Liberal Democrats advocate as a first priority the imposition of a tax on energy and that the United Kingdom is unusual amongst EC members in not applying even standard rates of VAT to domestic fuels, and refers to ending the anomalous zero rate of VAT on fuel; and calls on the Right honourable Member to state a consistent policy in all areas of the country he visits.

This motion has been signed by a total of 17 MPs.
