Road pricing concerns and a petition
With the Government's proposals for road pricing and the Eddington report last week, a petition was created by Peter Roberts which says "'We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Scrap the planned vehicle tracking and road pricing policy." Malcolm Bailey spotted this item and recommends you look at the campaign website. (9.12.06)

Motoring enthusiasts welcome fuel-duty freeze
Motoring enthusiasts who have faced large increases in fuel prices this year were given some respite today when the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown announced in Parliament that he had chosen to freeze fuel duty in his Pre-Budget Report (PBR). However he announced an inflation rise by saying "And while I will go ahead with an inflation rise in fuel duty from midnight tonight, of 1.25 pence per litre, I will not restore the fuel duty escalator and I have rejected a real terms increase in fuel duty". No increases in the rates of vehicle excise duty (road tax) were announced in the PBR, so the modest rate increases affecting classic MGs announced in his Budget 2006 earlier this year remain.
