HC Deb 24 January 2001 vol 361 cc650-1W
Mr. Davidson

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if the use of agricultural vehicles in public demonstrations means they are no longer used exclusively for agriculture for the purposes of the Hydrocarbon Oil Duties Act 1979; and if he will make a statement. [146741]

Mr. Timms

Schedule 1 to the Hydrocarbon Oil Duties Act 1979 defines categories of vehicle allowed to use red diesel. Customs and Excise aim to iterpret this law in a reasonable and proportionate way.
