Proceeding contribution from Caroline Lucas (Green Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 March 2024. It occurred during Budget debate on Budget Resolutions.
Budget Resolutions
The hon. Lady is making a powerful case for the need for investment in public services, but in that context, I wonder why the Labour party appears to be supporting the freezing of fuel duty. We know that the cost of freezing fuel duty since 2010 is a staggering £90 billion and that climate emissions since 2010 are 7% higher than they would have been had that policy not been in effect. Precisely because she wants more money to go into public services, can she explain why Labour is supporting this extraordinary policy?
