Proceeding contribution from Yvette Cooper (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 16 July 2008. It occurred during Opposition day on Fuel Duty.
Fuel Duty
I have to say that that is complete nonsense. Fuel duty is often set to increase in the autumn, but on a number of occasions, the rise has been either postponed or put back. In 2004, for example, the deferral of the autumn increase was announced on 20 July. Similar decisions in 2005 and 2006 were announced on 5 July and 19 July, respectively. The date today is 16 July, which means that today's announcement is entirely in keeping with decisions taken in previous years.
