Petition Received: 02 June 2008

Lead Petitioner: Martin Palmer

Number of Petitioners: 35 road haulage companies

Petition Wording:

Fuel and Road Haulage in Wales

We the undersigned call upon the National Assembly for Wales to recognise the crippling financial impact of rising fuel prices on Welsh Haulage businesses and ask the National Assembly for Wales to instigate a review / inquiry into the competitiveness and future sustainability of the Welsh Road Haulage industry. The outcome from any inquiry should then be used to shape supportive measures for the Road Haulage Industry here in Wales and to lobby the National U.K. Government where any measures fall outside the National Assembly for Wales’ remit.
