§ Mr. HoyleTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will estimate the cost to his Department of the loss of revenue from(a) fuel and (b) road tax, from overseas haulage companies operating in the UK. [77443]
§ Ms Hewitt[holding answer 18 March 1999]: HM Customs and Excise do not have sufficient reliable information on which to base a published estimate of the loss of revenue from fuel from overseas haulage companies operating in the UK.
449WThe Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions have not published any estimate of any loss of vehicle excise duty arising from overseas haulage companies operating in the UK, but believe the amounts involved to be negligible at worst.
