Hauliers demand 25p in the pound rebate

Published Date: 14/07/08

The hauliers, who are demanding a 25p-in-the-pound tax rebate on diesel, held a rally outside Parliament to spell out their fears.

The average price of diesel is now £1.32 a litre. Hauliers say this leaves them with fuel bills of up to £1,000 per week for an articulated lorry.Many complain that they may be driven out of business because of competition from drivers from other European countries where fuel is cheaper.
