Harlow MP keeps pressure up for lower fuel tax

HARLOW MP Robert Halfon has renewed his call for lower fuel tax in a bid to boost economic growth. His call comes on the day that latest figures revealed that the UK's economic growth is running at only 0.2 per cent.

Mr Halfon and the FairFuelUK campaign see a cut in fuel duty as a means of stimulating the economy. 
Robert Halfon MP champions the issue of fair petrol and diesel prices in Parliament and recently led a parliamentary debate on the issue.
He also took part in a car push along Whitehall to Downing Street where a letter calling for the cut in fuel tax was delivered to the Prime Minister.
Mr Halfon said: "Petrol and diesel are just too expensive. The high prices are hurting families and businesses in my own constituency of Harlow and all across the UK. 
"High fuel prices are holding back growth. The Chancellor took a bold and decisive step in the March budget to abandon the fuel escalator and to cut duty by 1p. 
"The Chancellor has hinted that he may look at tax cuts in the autumn.  I urge him to cut fuel duty."
