Tesco Five Pence Off Petrol Scheme

EDM number 2071 in 2007-08, proposed by Lindsay Hoyle on 16/07/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Children and families, Consumers, Energy, Incomes and poverty, International trade and Oil, petrol and natural gas.

That this House calls on Tesco to reverse its decision to exclude infant formula and baby food from the five pence per litre fuel promotion whereby customers who spend £50 receive a fuel voucher; notes that customers purchasing £50 of alcohol will be granted a voucher but families who spend money on baby food out of necessity cannot use that money spent towards a voucher; considers that the offer encourages greater spending on alcohol, which flies in the face of supporting families with young children; and further notes the contradiction that Tesco believes that Every Little Helps except when it comes to helping little ones.

This motion has been signed by a total of 30 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
