Fuel duty fight goes on

摘要

The record prices for fuel in the UK have been attracting enormous media coverage over the past weeks not least because of the problems hauliers are having in dealing with such a large rise in what is the basic raw material of the job! There is much talk about direct action to highlight the plight of hauliers, however, the RHA has not been idle in doing just that. Members will be aware that the RHA's on-going campaign for a level playing field has involved lobbying at all levels and protests around the country, including Whitehall, Edinburgh and Grangemouth oil refinery where more than 200 hauliers turned out. We believe that this has been key to the chancellor's decision to freeze diesel duty for over three years now.
