The Sun's 12-year campaign to freeze fuel duty hailed ahead of Autumn Statement
Brandishing the Fair Fuel UK petition, Tory MP Jonathan Gullis yesterday said squeezed motorists were being “punished by cripplingly and needlessly high taxation, which the Treasury has benefited from to the tune of £3billion”.
He added: “That is why I’m backing The Sun and Fair Fuel UK’s campaign to at the very least keep the fuel duty cut. Does the Chancellor agree?” Responding for the Treasury, Exchequer Secretary James Cartlidge said Mr Gullis “like The Sun newspaper is an absolute champion of motorists in his constituency, hauliers and all those who rely on petrol and diesel vehicles”.
