What can we expect regarding fuel duty?
The Treasury is under huge pressure to keep the popular 12-year fuel-duty freeze.
And the Chancellor is being lobbied hard working motorists to keep the 5p cut too.
He’s expected to keep both – but officials in No11 are concerned by the £6bn-per-year price tag.
Last week ex-Home Secretary Priti Patel piled pressure on Mr Hunt to cut fuel duty to help hard-up motorists to boost Britain’s economy.
She called on the Chancellor to “go further” where the Government has extra headroom to slash eye-watering fuel taxes and create growth.
The Sun’s Keep it Down campaign has forced ministers to freeze duties for 12 years in a row.
Ms Patel said: “We have to be the Government on the side of hard-pressed motorists, who are really feeling the pinch right now.
“We should be going further – where the Government has the head room, cut fuel duty.
“We need to put more money back into the purses and wallets of the Great British Motorist and do everything we can to support them.
“You can only grow the economy by putting more money back into people’s pockets, not by taking money out of them with higher taxes.”
