§ Mr. Alisonasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the estimated increase in revenue resulting from the proposed increase of duty payable on light hydrocarbon oils for furnace fuel from 2.2 pence per gallon to 2.4 pence.
§ Mr. Harold LeverMy right hon. Friend's Budget proposal was to reduce this duty marginally from 2.42d. per gallon, including the regulator surcharge, to 2.4d. per gallon. The cost to the revenue would be about £800,000 a year.
