Background
Fuel costs are driving up prices across everything, from food to deliveries, putting huge pressure on households and businesses. High fuel duty is making it worse during an already difficult cost of living crisis. Reducing it would provide immediate relief, lower inflation, support jobs, and help businesses survive while protecting consumers from further price increases.
