The government will freeze fuel duty again in Wednesday's Budget, the BBC understands. It reported this on the morning of 27 October.
Bloomberg had reported on 11 October that extending the freeze was under consideration. The BBC report now says it will happen.
Brit Brief, citing the Sun, reports that the temporary 5p-a-litre cut is also expected to be kept. It says this would be the 16th consecutive year of a freeze.
According to Brit Brief, the 5p cut was introduced in March 2022 and was due to end in December 2026. Without action, it says, prices would rise by 3p a litre from January 2027 and by a further 2p from March.
Fleet News also reports that the Chancellor, John Healey, is expected to maintain the fuel duty freeze.
The Treasury has not confirmed either measure. The figures on the timing of the cut and the price rises have not been independently checked.
