The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Road Freight and Logistics has today launched its new inquiry into the impact of fuel duty on road freight and logistics businesses.

The Group is calling for industry responses, as rising fuel prices and inflation continue to place huge financial pressures on UK businesses.

The APPG is inviting key stakeholders to respond to the inquiry by filling out the Group’s online survey.

The deadline to submit to the APPG’s call for evidence is the 1st of May.
