Scotland Bill

Not at the moment, because I want to make a couple more points. As we have said in previous debates, this issue is important because in Stornoway, in my hon. Friend's constituency, fuel routinely costs £6.50 a gallon; in the Chief Secretary's constituency diesel routinely costs £6.30 a gallon; in the major cities fuel costs more than £1.33 a litre—more than £6 a gallon; and I am told that Orkney recently had the £7 gallon. Hon. Members will know from the testimonials from the road haulage industry, the Freight Transport Association, FairFuelUK, taxi drivers, the Federation of Small Businesses and many others that businesses and communities are struggling with the inflationary effects of high fuel costs.
