HC Deb 15 November 1967 vol 754 c139W
115. Sir T. Beamish

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what yield, on an annual basis, he expects from the 2d. per gallon surcharge on fuel oils imposed on the horticultural industry; if he is aware that this represents an increase of around 25 per cent. on horticulturists' second largest overhead; and if he will remove this impost.

Mr. Harold Lever

This surcharge is not an increase of duty and it yields no revenue to the Exchequer.
