London,EN,UK -Commercial Vehicle, by Christopher Walton -12 March 2012: -- More than 300 hauliers have called on the government to take swift action to cut fuel duty, stimulate the economy and save haulage businesses... Led by campaign group FairFuelUK (FFUK), with support from the FTA and RHA, hauliers entered the House of Commons en masse last Wednesday to vent their frustrations to MPs at the crippling costs record fuel prices are having on their businesses... One owner-operator told that she was considering closing the business unless MPs cut fuel duty... FFUK handed in a report by the Centre for Economic and Business Research that shows an immediate 2ppl cut in fuel duty would create 180,000 jobs and provide a 0.33% GDP boost at no additional cost to the Treasury...Labels: truckers' protest worldwide
