Conservative — Mid Buckinghamshire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 8 September 2026

Debate

Fuel Duty: Cost of Living

Contribution

I cannot believe the Minister just said he wanted to give families breathing space when the RAC Foundation has found that, since fuel prices increased due to international issues earlier this year, the Treasury has raked in £1 billion extra from the VAT on fuel. How can it possibly be fair on motorists or give them any breathing space whatsoever to carry on with another fuel duty hike in January?
