Background
As petrol and especially diesel has risen to by at least 50p a litre and it affects everyone especially people who live in rural areas where public transport is not reliable for people get work etc. As everything is increasing in cost during the conflict in the Gulf. It is having a major effect on people's lives and the economy with the rate of inflation and mortgage rates increasing. It could stabilise the economy and it could help the vast amount of the population who are on lower incomes.
