MPs call for investigation into fuel retailers' pricing practices
Five MPs have submitted a proposal asking the government to investigate how fuel retailers set prices before and after the fuel tax cut on April 1, 2026. The proposers argue that several chains raised prices ahead of the tax cut and failed to lower them sufficiently afterward, potentially allowing them to profit unfairly from the tax reduction. They also ask the government to propose measures that would limit fuel retailers' profit margins.
