§ Mr. Buchanan-Smithasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what estimate he has made of the average cost to a motorist in Scotland in a full year of the increase in road fuel duty.
§ Mr. Harold LeverStatistics of the average costs of motorists in Scotland are not available. But as an illustrative example, for a mileage of 8,000 a year and a petrol consumption of 30 m.p.g., the average extra yield of the hydrocarbon oil duty would be about £2 11s. in a full year.
