Roger Williams MP leads delegation of hauliers to Welsh Office

July 16, 2008 12:00 AM

Roger Williams, MP for Brecon and Radnorshire, attended a meeting at the Welsh Office today between the local hauliers and The Minister of State at the Welsh Office, Huw Irranca-Davis MP, to discuss fuel prices.

Speaking after the meeting, Mr Williams said:

"The delegation of local hauliers had an opportunity to put their concerns to the Minister about the impact of rising fuel prices on local haulage firms.

"Rising fuel prices have hit constituents in rural areas particularly hard and the financial implications for rurally based haulage firms are particularly severe given the huge amounts of fuel required to run their fleets.

"The talks were constructive and the Minister said that he would feedback our concerns to his colleagues at the Treasury.

"I will continue to press Government for a derogation for a rebate in rural areas and I hope that they will reconsider this issue as a matter of urgency."

    If you are a resident of the Brecon and Radnorshire constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
