Steve Clarke, general manager of The Fuelcard People, has revealed how little interest the government takes in Britain’s road transport industry. During November, he wrote to five government ministers with transport responsibilities, including the prime minister, asking them to loosen the fuel tax noose around the neck of Britain’s road transport industry. None of them has replied to his letter.

“Knowing that the government is rather busy with the economic crisis, I expected to receive merely a handful of routine acknowledgements,” he said. “Even that was being optimistic. I wrote to Gordon Brown, Geoff Hoon, Lord Adonis, Paul Clark and Jim Fitzpatrick. Three weeks later, I am still waiting for a reply from any of them. Meanwhile, the government has found time to implement yet another increase in fuel tax, which was already amongst the highest in the world.”
