Fuel Duty Increase Shelved After Budget Yesterday

Yesterday the new budget for 2013 was announced by the chancellor George Osborne, revealing that there the proposed 3ppl fuel duty increase in September has been dropped.

Osborne claims that he had “listened” to the growing demands from PetrolPromise.com and the increasingly popular campaign from FFUK. Osborne said that due to the freeze of fuel duty increase over the last two years, the UK’s fuel is 13ppl cheaper than it would have been without the freeze. That equates to around £6bn in tax revenue not being charged.

The budget results have been applauded by FFUK, saying it is a great achievement in the fight to cut fuel duty. Quentin Wilson, FFUK spokesman said that the next step after ensuring fuel duty doesn’t climb, is to start cutting fuel prices. UK hauliers have complained that UK diesel prices are still the highest in Europe. RHA chief executive said “We want the next step to be cutting the price of diesel”.

FFUK Stepping Up a Gear in Preparation for the Budget

The new budget is fast approaching on March 20th and Fair Fuel UK is contacting supporters to show their support. MP’s will be metting at Westminster on March 4th and FFUK are encouraging the public to enter their details into a database that will send an email to their local MP about cutting the price of fuel duty. The target of this stratgey is to get as many MPs at this meeting as possible to have an effect on the results of the budget.

FFUK achieved a 1p cut in fuel duty last year, which is a small step but was a huge leap for FFUK and for the public with the increasing costs of fuel. FFUK have also managed to prevent a 9p fuel rise over the last two years. From the FFUK poll, the results illustrated that “Over 70% of members of the public and businesses said they would spend more on essentials (e.g. food) and spend more in shops generally, thereby stimulating economic growth” said FFUK, not only decreasing the price of fuel but also giving a much needed boost to our economy.
