SNP to focus on reducing fuel prices
Scottish National Party deputy Nicola Sturgeon voiced her party’s raising concerns at the amout of fuel duty that has been keeping fuel costs for the end consumer at what it considers to be an unfair level. Noticing that the duty tax has been raised from 39p in every pound (in 1997 when Labour took office) to 57p in 2010, Ms Sturgeon declared that the SNP will strive to fight the cause of “fairer” fuel prices.
According to the SNP, different categories need a more accessible level for the fuel price at the pumps, the issue being particularly important across Scotland. The Deputy Scottish First Minister said that the impact of such costs can be visible in motorists in general, but ultimately in an array of costs for the general population, as fuel prices are reflected in public transport or groceries.
Nicola Sturgeon made the statements in Edinburgh this week, as the SNP campaigned along with several of its candidates for the general election, as well as Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill.
