§ Mr. DiamondThe estimated revenue for 1967–68 from licences for goods vehicles is £78.5 million. Separate estimates of the revenue from hydrocarbon oil duty from goods vehicles are not made, but on the basis of estimates of end use of petrol and diesel road fuel made by the oil industry, the revenue from road fuel used by goods vehicles will be approximately £280 million in 1967–68.
