This question was answered on 28th March 2022
I regularly meet with Cabinet colleagues and DfT is working closely with HMT to monitor and assess the impact of fuel prices on the transport sector.
My Rt Hon Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer has just announced a temporary 12 month cut to duty on petrol and diesel of 5p per litre, representing a saving worth around £100 for the average car driver, £200 for the average van driver, and £1500 for the average haulier.
