The consumption of fuel is highly price inelastic. Therefore, fuel duty freezes only have a marginal impact on the amount of fuel purchased, and therefore limited impact on emissions.<\/p>

<\/p>

Households spend a significant amount of their total spending on transport fuels, and fuel costs are a major factor in helping the competitiveness of British businesses. Duty on fuel remains at 57.95ppl. The government is also taking action to reduce emissions and improve air quality through Vehicle Excise Duty and the Company Car Tax system.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4320", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Robert Jenrick"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Newark"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Robert Jenrick"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-05-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-05-13T14:31:39.627Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-05-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Fuels: Excise Duties"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the environmental impact of freezing fuel duty since 2010.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4382", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Daniel Zeichner"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Cambridge"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Daniel Zeichner"} ], "uin" : "251386"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1058926", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1058926/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

To support the haulage industry, the government will freeze both fuel duty and HGV VED for a further year from April 2019. As a result of the nine years of fuel duty freezes, by April 2020, the average HGV driver will have saved a cumulative £23,300 compared with the pre-2010 escalator.<\/p>

<\/p>

Fuel duty and its broader impacts on business and the economy remain under review. However, cuts in fuel duty come at a high cost to the Exchequer and do not necessarily offset pump price volatilities such as oil prices and exchange rates.<\/p>

The freeze in fuel duty announced at Autumn Budget 2017 is forecast to cost the Exchequer £830 million in its first year. These costs continue in future years.<\/p>

<\/p>

Freezes since 2011 have meant the Exchequer has not collected around £46 billion in revenues through to 2018-19, and a further £38 billion will be foregone over the Budget forecast period as a result of these previously announced freezes.<\/p>

The independent Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) forecasts fuel duty receipts for the next five years; The 2020-21 forecast is £29.6 billion. This forecast assumes that fuel duty is uprated in line with the Retail Price Index.<\/p>

<\/p>

However, since 2011, fuel duty has been frozen \u2013 a cut in real terms. 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. For the purposes of comparison, £46bn is around twice as much as we spend on all NHS nurses and doctors each year.<\/p>

<\/p>

Although longer term forecasts are not published, the OBR\u2019s Fiscal Risks Report highlights that, in the long-term, revenues from fuel duty will decline as vehicles switch from liquid fuels to electric power and become more efficient. The government recognises that these changes may impact tax revenues, but it believes fuel duty will continue to have an important role in the tax system.<\/p>

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.<\/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. For the purposes of comparison, this is around twice as much as we spend on all NHS nurses and doctors each year.<\/p>
