00:00Something I'm concerned about, and people have seen the diesel and petrol prices rising over recent months.
00:05They've seen us put in place a fuel finder so people can find out the cheapest price on the forecourts
00:11around them.
00:11They've seen us put in place a freeze on any rise in diesel until the end of the year.
00:16Indeed, but fuel duty is due to rise in January and again in March.
00:20Are you considering delaying, stopping those increases?
00:24So look, I'm concerned, I'm conscious of the pressure this is putting on people, on businesses as well as people
00:30at the pumps.
00:31And this is a government that will do what we can to give people a bit of breathing space,
00:36to give both a bit of breathing space from the cost of living and the cost of business.
00:40But those are decisions that I will make in the round at the budget when I announce it in a
00:46month today.
