Liquid Petroleum Gas (Hansard, 20 January 2003)

HC Deb 20 January 2003 vol 398 c56W 56W

§ Bob Spink
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will amend medium and longer-term taxation policy to encourage more LPG fuelled vehicles. [92052]

§ John Healey
In Budget 2001, the Chancellor announced that duty on road fuel gases (including liquid petroleum gases) would be frozen in real terms until at least 2004. Furthermore, fiscal incentives to use LPG are also offered through both the graduated vehicle excise duty and company car tax systems.
Any further announcement on the taxation of these fuels will be made in the context of the Chancellor's Budget judgments.
