Autumn Statement 2013: Fuel duty hike cancelled by Osborne

Updated

Next year's fuel duty rise has been cancelled. Instead of petrol taxes rising by 2p a litre, they will be frozen. Chancellor George Osborne claims the move means petrol will be 20p a litre less than under Labour's plans.

The announcement will be welcomed by motorist organisations and hard-pressed British consumers. What other news is there for Britain's motorists? %VIRTUAL-SkimlinksPromo%
