§ Adam PriceTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on the levels of on-road use of red diesel by(a) farmers, (b) plant hirers, (c) builders, (d) agricultural contractors and (e) tractor dealers. [115893]
§ John HealeyI have been asked to reply.
There are no estimates of the levels of on-road use of red diesel by user type, however, most vehicles permitted to use red diesel use it off-road. Because there are specific conditions attached to vehicles allowed to use red diesel, the amount of red diesel used on-road will be very small.
