Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will (a) lower fuel duty and (b) provide other additional support for motorists in the Autumn Statement 2023.

At Spring Budget 2023 the Government announced continued support for motorists by maintaining the rates of fuel duty at the levels set on 23 March 2022 for an additional 12 months, by extending the temporary 5p fuel duty cut and cancelling the planned inflation increase for 2023-24.

This support is already available for longer than in many countries and represents around £10 billion over 2 years and £200 for the average car driver. The Government will continue to keep fuel duty rates and other motoring taxes under review.

The Chancellor announces changes to taxes at fiscal events.
