Dear Mr Chancellor, please sort out the fuel prices as we are all fed up

So he's expected to scrap the planned rise in fuel duty, but is that going far enough?

Be interesting to see how small businesses fair this time...

BBC News - Budget 2011 at a glance: George Osborne's key points

Business wise:
  • Corporation tax to be cut by 2% in April, not 1% as previously planned
  • Bank levy to be adjusted so banks do not pay less tax as a result
  • 43 tax reliefs to be scrapped as part of simplification of tax code

I saw this does this effectively mean that the fuel should stay stable for a while now?

Thanks,

Just seen latest on the Beeb.
  • Fuel duty to be cut by 1p per litre from 1800 GMT
  • Planned inflation rise in fuel duty due in April to be delayed until 2012
  • Annual 1p above inflation "fuel escalator" rise scrapped until 2015
  • Measures to be paid for by

Fuel will increase by other factors, like the no fly zone

The budget seemed like a non-event to me.

It was touted as a jobs growth budget but I thought it failed to live up to its billing.
