    Political Reporter, BBC Radio Leeds

    Putting up the price of petrol has been suggested by a West Yorkshire Conservative MP as a way of funding a pay increase for public sector workers.

    The Prime Minister's ruled out scrapping the 1% cap although some members of her cabinet have suggested it could be lifted.

    But speaking on BBC Radio Leeds this afternoon, Elmet and Rothwell MP Alec Shelbrooke has suggested five pence on a litre of petrol as a possible way ahead:
