This must ensure 100% of the tax saving reaches drivers, stopping retailers and oil companies from raising margins or absorbing the duty cut during the current global volatility and shipping disruptions.","additional_details":"​Fuel prices (Diesel ~191p) are hitting record levels due to the Iran conflict, driving up the cost of living. Existing small duty cuts are being swallowed by market rises. The Government must act to lower costs and strictly regulate prices to ensure the public benefits, not oil company profits. This intervention is vital for commuters, businesses, and food prices while shipping routes like the Strait of Hormuz remain closed.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":8,"created_at":"2026-04-13T08:40:43.824Z","updated_at":"2026-05-07T09:40:58.436Z","rejected_at":"2026-05-07T09:40:58.425Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-04-13T12:16:50.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may wish to sign the following petitions, which call for similar action:\r\n\r\n\"Suspend fuel duty and VAT on fuel until the Iran conflict ends\" https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/763674\r\n\r\n\"Cap retail oil and gas prices\" https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/764109\r\n\r\n\"Reduce fuel duty tax to at least half of the current rates\" https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/764577"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
