PRA urges Chancellor to maintain fuel duty cut

On 8 November, the Petrol Retailers Association wrote to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Jeremy Hunt, regarding the 5p per litre fuel duty cut introduced in March. Gordon Balmer, executive director of the PRA, said: “Skyrocketing energy prices have had a devastating impact on household finances. When every penny counts, it is crucial that the 5ppl fuel duty cut introduced in March of is maintained.

“For families struggling with the cost-of-living-crisis that 5ppl will make a huge difference.

“I have also asked the Chancellor to follow the example of his predecessors and freeze fuel duty. Failure to do so will unduly burden those that are already struggling.”
