answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2018 answer text <p>Ministers and officials hold regular discussions with representatives of the petroleum sector on a range of issues, including fuel prices.</p><p> </p><p>The rural fuel duty rebate scheme allows around 125,000 people living in the UK’s most rural communities, including on the Scottish mainland and Scottish Islands, to benefit from a five pence per litre fuel price cut. The government also recognises that fuel costs remain a significant part of business and household costs, particularly in rural areas. That is why at Budget 2018, the Chancellor announced the main rate of fuel duty would remain frozen for the ninth successive year, which by April 2020 will have saved the average driver a cumulative £1000 compared to pre-2010 escalator plans.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 20/12/2018 16:06:14 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/09/2018 answer text <p>The Government believes that it is essential that consumers get a fair deal and that a competitive market is the best way to keep prices low.</p><p> </p><p>The Office of Fair Trading last looked at fuel prices in 2013, and I expect its successor, the Competition and Markets Authority, to keep them under review.</p><p> </p><p>The Department continues to monitor fuel prices and publishes weekly reports at <a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/oil-and-petroleum-products-weekly-statistics" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/oil-and-petroleum-products-weekly-statistics</a>. BEIS analysis is that changes in the price of crude oil are the main driver of changes in the national average retail prices of petrol and diesel and both rises and falls in crude oil price reach the pumps within 7 weeks. The Government does not believe that a monitoring body is necessary.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 04/09/2018 12:58:00 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2018 answer text <p>To support British households and businesses, at Autumn Budget 2017, the government froze fuel duty for the eighth successive year. By April 2019, these freezes will have saved the average car driver a total of £850 compared to the pre-2010 escalator.</p><p> </p><p>Since 2011, the announced freezes to fuel duty have meant the Exchequer has not collected around £46 billion in revenues through to 2018-19, and a further £38 billion of revenues will be foregone over the forecast period as a result of these previously announced freezes.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 18/07/2018 15:05:28 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
