The party’s Deputy Leader refused to rule out an increase in petrol duty when challenged in a Women’s Leaders debate on LBC radio.
She said: “We rule out increasing VAT, the higher rate of tax, the top rate of tax, we will not put up National Insurance.
“For all the others, air passenger duties, alcohol or petrol we will lay that out in the Budget.”
The last Labour Government raised fuel duty 12 times to the highest levels in the EU before being booted out in 2010.
The Sun last month revealed that the Chancellor’s decision to scrap a series of planned tax hikes from 2011 had saved motorists nearly £4billion at the pump.

At the reception, the currency board shows that for the English pound you get 5.12 dirhams, while the Scottish pound only gets you 4.98.
