Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether his Department has further plans to support industries and professions affected by the cost of fuel following the lowering of fuel duty; and whether he has made an assessment of the implications for his policies of the RHA’s plan for an essential user rebate of 15p per litre on fuel duty.

At Spring Statement 2022, in response to high fuel prices, the Government announced a temporary 12 month cut to duty on petrol and diesel of 5 pence per litre. This represents a tax cut worth around £2.4 billion in 2022-23, benefiting anyone who consumes fuel across the UK.

All taxes, including fuel duty, remain under review.
