	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2015 answer text <p>The Government used pump price data received through calls for information, as well as data previously held by HMRC, to help determine the list of areas to be included in its application to the European Commission for the extension of the rural fuel rebate scheme. Records show that a filling station in the KW12 postcode submitted evidence as part of the Calls for Information. While some areas may have been included in the Government’s application in which a filling station has since closed down, the areas met the strict criteria used for the application, and therefore new filling stations in these areas remain eligible to apply for the scheme.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 15/06/2015 16:07:40 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
