Employment Rights minister Kate Dearden has said the government is not taking steps on fuel because “our situation is different” to other countries. Correct – there is no money…
On Sky News Dearden was pressed on measures taken by other countries – Australia and others have halved fuel duty and suggested people use less of it – but held firm:
“There are no current supply issues, but of course we are assessing the situation and governments of course plan for contingencies as well. Our situation is different to different countries and and they have of course reacted in different ways and we will as I said continue to assess the situation and make sure that we can prepare as much as possible… People should, you know, over the Easter weekend, continue to to fill up their cars, take those journeys, if they are going for a short trip abroad over the coming days or whatever plans they have.”
Dearden added: “Because we are absolutely, you know, monitoring the situation, and understand the concerns that people do have with the crisis and what’s happening in the Middle East and what it means to them here at home, but they should know we’re absolutely on their side.” Are you feeling reassured yet…
