Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much funding her Department has committed to the Rural Fuel Duty Relief Scheme in each of the last five financial years.

The Rural Fuel Duty Relief Scheme has provided a 5p reduction to motorists buying fuel in certain areas since its introduction in 2012. The Government publishes figures for the estimated cost of non-structural tax reliefs at the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/main-tax-expenditures-and-structural-reliefs/non-structural-tax-relief-statistics-december-2024.
