Written Question
Fuels: Prices
Tuesday 21st April 2026

Asked by: Stephen Gethins (Scottish National Party - Arbroath and Broughty Ferry)

Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to help ensure that potential reductions in wholesale fuel costs are passed on to consumers.

Answered by Martin McCluskey - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)

Fuel markets are governed by competition and consumer protection law, overseen by the Competition Market Authority (CMA). The Government and the CMA are closely monitoring petrol and diesel prices in light of instability in the Middle East, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer and my Rt hon Friend the Secretary of State recently met with fuel retailers to set out a clear message: unfair practices will not be tolerated.

This government has also introduced the Fuel Finder scheme, which will increase price transparency so drivers can compare prices to find the best deal and incentivise greater competition.

Written Question
Fuels: Excise Duties
Tuesday 21st April 2026

Asked by: Stephen Gethins (Scottish National Party - Arbroath and Broughty Ferry)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent assessment she has made of the potential economic effect on consumers of reducing fuel duty.

Answered by Dan Tomlinson - Exchequer Secretary (Cabinet Office) (Jointly with HM Treasury)

The Government recognises the impact of fuel costs on household budgets and is already taking action to help keep fuel prices down. Since Autumn Budget 2024, the Government’s decisions to freeze fuel duty will save the average motorist around 8 to 11 pence per litre, compared to the plans inherited from the previous government.

The Government has published Tax Impact and Information Notes (TIINs) assessing the impacts of the 2026/27 fuel duty rates, which can be found at GOV.UK:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/fuel-duty-rates-for-2026-to-2027/fuel-duty-rates-2026-to-2027

As with all taxes, the Government keeps fuel duty under review.
