Tory MP Robert Halfon ready to be FairFuelUK champion

摘要

The INDUSTRY'S fight for a fair deal on fuel prices has been given a boost with a pledge from Tory MP Robert Halfon to be the FairFuelUK champion in the House of Commons. Backed once again by the Freight Transport Association (FTA) and the Road Haulage Association (RHA), the FairFuelUK campaign made headlines earlier this week as a group of MPs, spearheaded by Halfon, pushed a FairFuelUK branded car along Whitehall as a publicity stunt to kick-start phase two of the campaign. The MPs then handed a letter into NolO, calling for an inquiry into why pump prices appear not to fall in line with falling oil prices and for a delay or abandonment of the planned January rise on fuel duty (set to add as much as 4ppl to fuel). Halfon tells CM his intention is to become 'Mr FairFuel MP' in the House of Commons and has already formed a FairFuelUK All-Party Parliamentary Group, with 22 MPs signed up as members.
