Planned fuel duty rise scrapped

It’s welcome news for hard-pushed drivers – Chancellor George Osborne has announced that he has scrapped a planned 3p/litre rise in fuel duty, and that there will be increased development in the UK road network.

fuel duty to rise 3.02 pence per litre on 1 August

The hopes that the budget might see a cut in fuel duty have been dashed. The Chancellor, George Osborne, announced that fuel duty would rise by 3.02 pence per litre fuel duty increase on 1 August as planned. He portrayed himself as being sympathetic to the motorist by saying that there would be no above-inflation fuel duty rises until oil fell below £45 per barrel.
