Rejected petition Temporarily reduce fuel duty to ease living costs during global instability.

Fuel prices have risen sharply, increasing costs for households, businesses, & essential goods in the UK. This is placing significant strain on working people & risks slowing the wider economy. A temporary reduction in fuel duty would provide relief & show clear support for those most affected.

More details

High fuel costs are driving up prices across the economy, from food to transport, worsening the cost of living crisis. Although these pressures are influenced by global events, UK households are bearing the burden. Without action, there is a real risk of further economic decline. A targeted, temporary cut would help stabilise costs and protect living standards.
