Background
The Iran conflict has already pushed UK energy costs higher. We are concerned that a prolonged Middle East conflict and Strait of Hormuz disruptions could push prices above 2022 levels. Temporarily suspending fuel duty and VAT would help protect UK households and businesses from these rising costs.
