answer text <p>Households spend a significant amount of their total spending on transport fuels, and fuel costs are a factor in helping the competitiveness of British businesses. These are particularly important considerations in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic with households moving away from public transport towards using their own vehicles to avoid furthering the virus’ spread. As set out at the Budget, future fuel duty rates will be considered in the context of the UK’s commitment to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.</p><p> </p><p>The government is taking action to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and improve air quality through Vehicle Excise Duty and the Company Car Tax system. As announced in the Ten Point Plan, the UK will end the sale of new petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2030, ten years earlier than planned. The transition away from petrol and diesel cars and vans will make a vital contribution to meeting our Net Zero commitment.</p><p> </p><p>Rail fares increased by 1% above inflation (2.6%) on 1 March 2021 – this is the lowest actual increase in four years. A small rise is necessary to ensure crucial investment in our railways. The government temporarily froze fares, enabling passengers to purchase tickets at a lower price until 28 February. Passenger demand has fallen dramatically over the last year and its recovery is uncertain. The government will continue to work closely with industry on initiatives to support demand and revenue recovery when the time is right, including actively working with train operators to develop a solution that offers better value and convenience for those who commute flexibly.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>The Government understands this is a difficult time for the events and exhibitions sector who have been acutely impacted by the pandemic.</p><p>From April business rate paying businesses in these sectors may be eligible for restart grants of up to £18,000 per business premises. Guidance for Local Authorities (LA) on the eligibility for these grants will be published shortly. In addition, the Government has announced LAs in England will receive a top-up worth a total of £425 million to their allocation from the Additional Restrictions Grant (ARG), which has already provided LAs with £1.6 billion. This funding is at the LAs discretion and is intended to support businesses which are not eligible for restart grants, but which are nonetheless experiencing a severe impact on their business.</p><p>The events and exhibitions sector will also benefit from the extension of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS), the Self Employments Income Support Scheme (SEISS), the UK-wide Recovery Loan Scheme, and may also benefit from the £300m extension to the Culture Recovery Fund announced at Budget. This is in addition to the £1.57 billion provided in July 2020.</p>
