Proceeding contribution from Carla Lockhart (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 March 2026. It occurred during Opposition day on Fuel Duty.
Fuel Duty
Does the right hon. Gentleman agree that the £53 million is welcome, but that calculates to about £35 a household, which is nothing in the grand scheme of things? Does he agree that fuel duty should be cut, VAT should be removed and the North sea opened up? That should come alongside dealing with fertilisers and red diesel, which are heavily impacted too. We need support for people now.
