SIR - Referring to your comment (February 12).

The Government will soon be forced to make a cut in fuel duty. The cost of fuel has increased by 70 per cent over a year. This has forced the prices of almost everything to go up in price, forcing up inflation.

I wonder how much longer we can sustain these increases? Surely it is costing government departments and councils the same? Surely it makes sense to cut fuel duty, not increase it.

JOHN NORWOOD Kidderminster.
