Letter from 20 MPs says government should cut VAT and environmental levy on fuel bills to offset rising costs
Boris Johnson was urged by Conservative MPs and peers on Sunday to address what they say will be a “cost of living crisis for many” in 2022.
In a letter, the 20 parliamentarians said rising energy prices would pose more of a problem for consumers in the UK than in other comparable countries and that the government should cut VAT on fuel bills, and remove environmental levies on energy, to ease the burden on families.
