Opposition Day — Fuel Duty — 12 Nov 2012 at 21:49
The majority of MPs voted in favour of increasing taxes on fuel by 3% as of January 2013.
The text of the rejected motion was:
- That this House
- believes that, at a time when the cost of living is rising and our economic recovery is fragile, it cannot be right to increase fuel duty by the planned 3 pence in January 2013;
- calls upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer to cancel this rise in fuel duty at least until next April; and
- believes that this change could be funded by clamping down on known tax avoidance schemes.
