Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether the Government plans to reduce excise duty on UK produced petroleum.

The government recognises that transport is a significant cost for households and businesses. That is why for the last nine years the government has frozen fuel duty at a cost of £53bn, saving the average car driver £1,000 compared to pre-2010 plans.

All taxes remain under review with any future decision made as part of the normal Budget processes and in the context of the wider fiscal position.
