Local MP Adam Price has spoken of his disappointment that the Government has rejected his calls for the establishment of a fuel regulator.

A Plaid proposal had intended to provide relief for motorists and industry from soaring fuel prices.

Mr Price says he is especially disappointed that the proposals were rejected as hauliers prepare for further demonstrations as fuel prices continue to push their businesses to the brink of financial ruin.

"I am hugely disappointed that this measure was not supported by the Government," he said.

"I feel bitterly disappointed for haulier companies that have been in contact with me stressing the trouble they have had keeping pace with the cost of petrol."

"The establishing of a fuel regulator, which was fully supported by the Road Haulage Association, would have made a real difference to the cost of living not just of businesses but for everyone."
