At Spring Budget 2023, the Government announced continued support for motorists by maintaining the rates of fuel duty at the levels set on 23 March 2022 for an additional 12 months by extending the temporary 5p fuel duty cut and cancelling the planned inflation increase for 2023-24.

This support is already available for longer than in many countries and represents around £10 billion over two years and £200 for the average car driver. The Government will continue to keep fuel duty rates and other motoring taxes under review, with any changes announced at fiscal events.

There was a reception hosted by the Fair Fuel All-Party Parliamentary Group on 28 February. This is a campaign I have long supported during my years as MP for the Congleton Constituency.
