Question to the Scotland Office:

What recent assessment he has made of the effect of the freeze on fuel duty on low income families in Scotland.

The Government recognises that transport is a major cost for households and businesses in Scotland.

That is why the Prime Minister recently announced that fuel duty will be frozen in 2019/20, a ninth successive freeze. This will benefit all drivers in Scotland and across the UK.

As a result of the last eight years of freezes, the average car driver has saved a cumulative £850 compared to pre-2010 escalator plans.
