Should the government temporarily cut fuel duty if petrol prices continue to rise?

Rising global oil prices have pushed petrol and diesel prices higher across the UK, increasing costs for households and businesses.

The government has previously frozen fuel duty and extended a temporary 5p per litre cut, but future rates remain under review.

Supporters of a temporary fuel duty cut argue it would ease pressure on motorists and help with the cost of living.

Critics argue it would reduce tax revenue and may do little to offset higher wholesale fuel prices.

The issue has prompted debate over whether the government should temporarily cut fuel duty if petrol prices continue to rise.
