THE key focus of March’s Budget concentrated on business recovery as a result of the impact of Coronavirus. Commenting, RHA chief executive Richard Burnett said: “This has been a Budget that is good for business and good for people.
“The Chancellor’s announcement of a fuel duty freeze for the 11th year in succession comes as good news for commercial vehicle operators who have been struggling as a result of the pandemic.” The RHA also welcomed the extension of the furlough scheme until the end of September. “We consider it to be a Budget based on optimism and right now, that’s something that we all need.”
