§ Mr. Maddenasked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he is now prepared to allow payment for fuel duty grant in respect of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) used in public service vehicles on stage carriage operations.
§ Mr. William RodgersYes. I have decided that bus operators who wish to experiment with LPG should be at no disadvantage as regards fuel duty grant. The debate will be at the current rate of duty, 15 pence a gallon, and will take effect immediately.
