Deputy prime minister John Prescott has admitted that money raised from fuel duty was never intended to be spent on transport alone. Speaking on the BBC's "Breakfast with Frost" programme, Prescott said: "We did use the extra money from those resources on petrol to get the stability in the economy. Petrol tax has never been solely for transport investment."
