HC Deb 07 May 1969 vol 783 c91W
62. Mr. Gordon Campbell

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what are his estimates of the additional costs to agriculture and forestry in Scotland resulting from the proposed increase in fuel duty.

Dr. Dickson Mabon

The estimated direct cost is about £100,000 for agriculture and £10,000 for forestry in a full year, which represents about one-twentieth of 1 per cent. of total costs in each industry.
