star this property answer text <p>At Spring Statement 2022 in response to fuel prices reaching record levels, the government announced a temporary 12-month cut to duty on petrol and diesel of 5p per litre.</p><p> </p><p>This is the largest cash-terms cut across all fuel duty rates at once, ever, and is only the second time in 20 years that main rates of petrol and diesel have been cut. This cut represents savings for households and businesses worth around £2.4 billion in 2022-23.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has been clear that it expects those in the supply chain to pass the fuel duty cut through to consumers as promptly as possible. Following a request from the Business Secretary, the Competition and Markets Authority will undertake a short and focused review of the fuel market and will provide advice to the Government on steps that could be taken to improve outcomes for consumers.</p><p> </p><p>All taxes, including fuel duty, remain under review.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>The Government recognises that millions of households across the UK have been impacted by rising energy bills and the wider cost of living. That is why the Government is providing over £15 billion in further support, targeted particularly on those with the greatest need. This package is in addition to the over £22 billion announced previously, with government support for the cost of living now totalling over £37 billion this year. The package includes:</p><ul><li>£400 off GB energy bills from October through the expansion of the Energy Bills Support Scheme (EBSS);</li><li>A £650 Cost of Living Payment for over 8 million households across the UK in receipt of means tested benefits;</li><li>A £150 one-off disability Cost of Living Payment for 6 million people who receive non-means tested disability benefits;</li><li>An extra one-off £300 this year for over eight million pensioner households to help them cover the rising cost of energy this winter;</li><li>An extra £500 million of local support, via the Household Support Fund, for households that are not eligible for Cost of Living Payments or for families that still need additional support.</li></ul><p> </p><p>The Government has also expanded and increased the Warm Home Discount. Three million vulnerable households will now receive £150 each year. The Government’s objective for the Warm Home Discount is to focus the support towards those on the lowest incomes and in, or at greatest risk of, fuel poverty.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has robust plans in place to improve the efficiency of peoples’ homes. The Heat and Buildings Strategy, published in October, detailed the £3.9 billion committed over the Spending Review period to improve the energy efficiency of our building stock and help to reduce bills.</p><p> </p><p>We are also expanding the Energy Company Obligation, which places an obligation on larger energy suppliers to provide energy efficiency and heating measures for fuel poor households across Great Britain, to £1 billion per year from 2022-2026. This will help 133,000 low-income households annually to improve their energy efficiency.</p><p> </p><p>The Government will continue to monitor how global events affect energy bills and the cost of living into the winter.</p>

The Government’s response also identified actions going beyond the Review’s recommendations. Progress on recommendations and additional actions, and decisions on other areas of disparity where the principle of “explain or change” needs to apply, are overseen by a CJS Race and Ethnicity Board. The Board was created in response to the Review.</p><p>The Government provided a detailed public update on progress against each of the 35 recommendations of the Lammy Review, and the other related activities, in February 2019 in the “Tackling racial disparity in the Criminal Justice System” update: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tackling-racial-disparity-in-the-criminal-justice-system-2020" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tackling-racial-disparity-in-the-criminal-justice-system-2020</a>.</p>

A recent UN mission revealed rapid deterioration in the humanitarian situation, with access to those at the Rukban Berm extremely constrained. To date, the UN has not been granted sustained access by the Assad regime.</p><p> </p><p>The UK urges all parties to ensure unconditional and sustained humanitarian access that will enable regular aid deliveries to take place. We continue to call on all parties to ensure that the approved humanitarian convoy from Damascus to Rukban takes place, providing the assistance these people badly need.</p> more like this
