Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, If he will make it his policy to reduce duties on petrol as people switch to electric cars.

The government recognises that, in the long-term, revenues from a number of the current transport taxes may decline as vehicles use less liquid fuels. HM Treasury keeps all transport taxes under review, as it does with all taxes, and if the Chancellor decides to make changes, he will announce them at fiscal events.
