Proceeding contribution from Luke Evans (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 March 2026. It occurred during Opposition day on Fuel Duty.

Fuel Duty

All my right hon. Friend’s arguments stand, and that was true before the war in Iran. The Prime Minister stood there on Monday saying that the freeze is still in place, but the world has literally changed around us. Does my right hon. Friend share my concern that this Government are not being reactive and following the change? There will be a big impact and a knock-on effect, and the Prime Minister is touting this policy as though it is new, when it was in the Budget last year.
