Mr Richard Holden

Conservative — Basildon and Billericay

Speaking in the House of Commons on 18 March 2026

Debate

Fuel Duty

Contribution

My right hon. Friend makes an incredibly important point. The Government are forgoing tax revenue that is going into the coffers of other Treasuries right across Europe and across the world, but why? To what end? We will see whether Ministers will answer why they are willing to forgo hundreds of thousands of jobs and billions of pounds every year. [Interruption.] They could spend that on anything they wanted to, and they are not even going to do it.
