  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  @ MP voted aye for lower taxes on fuel for motor vehicles. 
  @ MP voted no against taxes on fuel for motor vehicles.
  
  The majority of MPs voted against lower taxes on fuel for motor vehicles.
  
  The text of the rejected motion was:
  
  :That this House
  :''recognises'' that rising world oil, food and commodity prices are increasing the cost of living and adding to the squeeze on families on low and middle incomes across Britain;
  :''believes'' this has been compounded by the Governmentâs decision to increase VAT to 20 per cent., which will cost a family with children an annual average of Â£450, has helped to push up the consumer prices index annual inflation to 4 per cent. and, according to the House of Commons Library, is adding Â£1.35 to the cost of filling up a vehicle with a 50 litre tank;
  :''notes'' that the AA announced last week that the cost of unleaded petrol has now reached an average of Â£6 a gallon and that the fuel duty stabiliser promised in the 2010 Conservative Party manifesto has not yet been announced or implemented;
  :''further notes'' that the previous administration regularly postponed planned fuel duty rises when world oil prices were increasing sharply, as they are now; and
  :''demands'' that the Government takes immediate steps to reverse Januaryâs VAT rise on road fuels, using the extra Â£800 million from the bank levy and securing the appropriate EU derogation, in order to provide relief to hard-pressed motorists and, at the time of the Budget, looks again at the annual duty rise due in April.
