Fuel Costs

I agree with the principle of a stabiliser. However, the Government talk of having ““inherited”” the duty increase. In 1997, the Labour Government inherited a Conservative proposal to raise VAT on domestic fuel and then ““disinherited”” it. Is the hon. Gentleman suggesting, as I am, that the Conservatives should ““disinherit”” the duty increase? That would help people in his area and in mine.
