Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of the financial effect of the freeze on fuel duty since 2010 for the average motorist.

As a result of twelve consecutive years of frozen fuel duty rates, the average UK car driver will pay around £15 less per tank of fuel, and will have cumulatively saved around £1,900 since 2011, compared to what would have been paid under the pre-2010 escalator. The 2022-23 freeze represents a saving for consumers of nearly £8 billion over the next five years.
