Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the fuel duty differential between the UK and each of the other 27 member states of the EU has been for each of the last five years for which data is available.

The European Commission collates figures for fuel duty from each of the Member States once a year. Information on fuel duty rates over the past 5 years can be found at the following links. While fuel duty is levied in local currency, the EC figures convert these into euros, using the prevailing exchange rates at the date of publication.
