Government urged to cut speed limits and fuel duty to ease household finances

The government is urged to lower urban speed limits to 20mph and motorway limits to 60mph to mitigate financial impacts from the Iran war. A thinktank recommends these changes, alongside a temporary 10p fuel duty cut, to combat rising inflation and economic damage caused by the conflict. These proposals aim to reduce fuel consumption and ease the financial strain on UK households facing potential energy price shocks.
