MPs to debate fuel prices 'misery'

After 105,000 signatures on my joint petition with Fair Fuel UK, and three appearances before the Commons Backbench Committee, a date for a debate on the high cost of fuel prices has finally been announced - on 15 November.

Close to eighty MPs from all parties have also signed my Backbench Motion in support of lower petrol/diesel prices.

This debate has been a long time coming and will hopefully put pressure on the Government and the oil companies to do something about the cost of fuel at the pumps.

High petrol/diesel prices damages families, disrupts businesses and pushes up the cost of public transport. It also creates a poverty trap as it makes it unaffordable to travel to work. Unemployment has risen and businesses have closed - all because of the unsustainable price of petrol.
