	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/06/2018 answer text <p><em>To support British households and businesses, at Autumn Budget 2017, the government froze fuel duty for the eighth successive year. Since public finances are based on the assumption that fuel duty will increase with RPI at every Budget, any increase below this represents a cost to the Exchequer. Successive freezes since 2011 have saved the average driver £620 compared to what it would have been with RPI increases. </em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>Since 2011, the announced freezes to fuel duty have meant the Exchequer has not collected around £46 billion in revenues through to 2018-19. For the purposes of comparison, this is around twice as much as we spend on all NHS nurses and doctors each year.”</em></p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 12/06/2018 16:55:08 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2018 answer text <p>The government recognises that, in the long-term, revenues from a number of the current transport taxes may decline as vehicles use less liquid fuels. HM Treasury keeps all transport taxes under review, as it does with all taxes, and if the Chancellor decides to make changes, he will announce them at fiscal events.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 06/03/2018 17:48:42 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
