§ 10. Mr. Crouchasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why, under his regulations, dumpers have a concession to use rebated fuel oil, whilst a vehicle made to answer the same purpose and used exclusively for work inside a gravel pit has to pay the full price.
§ Mr. R. A. ButlerDumpers not constructed or adapted for use on roads are entitled under the law to use rebated heavy oils as fuel. This exception does not apply to vehicles constructed or adapted for use on roads. If my hon. Friend has any particular case in mind, perhaps he will let me know.
§ Mr. CrouchI will let my right hon. Friend have the details of the case I have in mind of a dumper which never goes outside a gravel pit but in respect of which no concession is received on the fuel it uses.
§ Mr. ButlerIt is a very complicated affair, and I will investigate my hon. Friend's case.
§ Mr. CrouchI am obliged to my right hon. Friend.
