Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she (a) is taking steps to reduce fuel duty and (b) has considered halving fuel duty to help reduce the cost of living.

The Government has already taken action on fuel affordability at the pump.

At Budget 2025, the Government extended the 5p-per-litre cut for a further five months, until the end of August this year.

The Government has also cancelled the increase in line with inflation for 2026/27. Instead, rates will only gradually return to early 2022 levels by March 2027.

Since Autumn Budget 2024, the Government's decisions to freeze fuel duty will save the average motorist over £90.

Fuel duty raises approximately £24 billion each year, where this revenue helps fund the vital public services and infrastructure that people across the UK expect.

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