Road Fuel Prices

EDM number 609 in 2005-06, proposed by Angus MacNeil on 18/07/2005.

That this House notes the high fuel price rises in rural areas, especially the Western Isles, where prices have risen above £1 per litre, which will have a detrimental effect on communities and tourism; calls on the Office of Fair Trading to re-examine the issue; further calls on major oil companies to halt the surcharges for rural petrol stations; and further calls on the Treasury to report on actions the Government can take to identify and alleviate problems caused by high fuel prices across the Highlands and Islands.

This motion has been signed by a total of 28 MPs.
