§ Pete WishartTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the estimated revenues for the lorry road user charging project are for each year for which figures are available; and what proportion of the estimated revenues for the project are expected to come from Scotland. [132776]
§ John HealeyThere will be reductions in fuel duty for those paying the charge so that there is no increase in the overall tax burden for that sector of the haulage industry that buys fuel in the UK.
No assessment of revenues can be made until it is decided at what level the charge will be set, and what level of offsetting fuel duty reduction will be available to charge-payers. Decisions on fuel duties and other taxes are made on a Budget-by-Budget basis.
