Bath Lib-Dem MP Don Foster said many of the issues he had pushed for were included in the Chancellor’s Autumn Statement.
“I was pleased to see that rail fares are to be capped at 6.2% -1% above inflation. This is down from 8.2%. This will make a real difference to commuters in Bath.
“In addition, the Statement has also offered help with fuel duty, extending care for two year olds so it now reaches 40% of children, and also an increase in the bank levy to ensure they continue to pay their fair share. These are all significant steps in the right direction.
“This is an economic package that Liberal Democrats can be proud of. In difficult times for everyone, we are working together as a coalition to protect the British economy from the storm around us and build a better, more sustainable economy.”
