Budget 2020: Fuel duty rise bad for UK economy and no help for environment

In its Budget 2020 submission, FTA, the only business organisation which speaks on behalf of all of the logistics sector, has raised concerns about the negative impacts the speculated rise in fuel duty would have. According to Christopher Snelling, Head of UK Policy at FTA, such a change would cause damage to the economy while not assisting government plans to transition the UK to a low-emission economy. Ahead of the Budget on 11 March 2020, the business group is urging the government to refrain from making the damaging decision to increase fuel duty.
