HC Deb 27 November 1967 vol 755 cc25-6W
Mrs. Ewing

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will take steps to introduce a rebate on fuel used for agriculture and horticulture in Scotland.

Mr. Harold Lever

Horticultural producers throughout the country already receive repayment of duty on heavy oils used in the heating of horticultural buildings or structures and the heating or sterilisation of the earth or other growing medium used; rebate of duty is also allowed on heavy oils used as fuel in agricultural machines, mowing machines, unlicensed vehicles not used on public roads, and vehicles exempted from licence duty which use public roads for distances not exceeding six miles per week.
