Budget 2023: Chancellor announces fuel duty will be frozen<\/h3>\n

Petrol and diesel drivers could be set for a major win as Jeremy Hunt looks set to continue the fuel duty freeze.<\/p>\n

The Treasury had put pressure on the Chancellor to hike the petrol pump tax but Mr Hunt appears to have stood firm.<\/p>\n

The MP for South West Surrey will protect the 5p tax cut on motorists in his Autumn Statement set to be read out in two weeks, according to The Sun.<\/p>\n

One source said: \u201cAs ever there was internal pressure to raise revenue this autumn from fuel but Jeremy has said no.\u201d<\/p>\n

The news will provide a break to motorists who are already battling increasing costs at the pumps amid the cost-of-living crisis.<\/p>\n

Responding to the news, FairFuelUK founder and Reform UK London Mayoral candidate Howard Cox was thrilled.<\/p>\n

He posted on X, formerly Twitter: \u201cOur lobbying and campaigning for the 13th year running has stopped any fuel duty rise again.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks to the thousands of #FairFuelUK supporters who made this happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Former Chancellor Rishi Sunak introduced a temporary cut to fuel duty in his Spring 2022 budget.<\/p>\n

The cut was announced just weeks after Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine which had pushed up pump prices to \u201cunprecedented levels\u201d.<\/p>\n
