Budget update - fuel duty dozen again

A car is a necessity not a luxury in Northumberland and I am delighted that the chancellor listened again in the summer budget last week and froze duty on petrol and diesel. This is the key cost of living tax issue and the freeze really helps motorists in my patch. The reality is that the previous labour government out up fuel duty 12 times and the coalition and now this government have frozen it throughout, saving motorists a fortune.
