At a the meeting, the Chief Secretary presented FairFuelUK spokesman Quentin Willson and founder Howard Cox, with the government's recently published fuel duty dynamic modelling which supports the fuel campaign group's long-held contention that lower fuel duty increases jobs, GDP and economic activity.
Commenting, RHA Chief Executive Geoff Dunning said: "The Road Haulage Association has supported FairFuelUK since its inception three and a half years ago and this news confirms, without doubt, the fact that we made the right decision. Now, with a general election on the horizon, we shall be working even more closely with FFUK to ensure that we can get Government to go one step further and make a positive cut in fuel duty - a boost that the economy, hauliers and every other road user so desperately needs."
