Background
The reduction in fuel duty would help
Ease financial burden on households during a period of international crisis
Support businesses, logistics operators, & essential workers who rely on road transport
Stabilise costs while global shipping routes remain disrupted
Protect economic activity until normal oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz resume
This would provide short‑term relief during an exceptional geopolitical situation & could be reversed once oil shipping and pricing stabilise.
