Subject: Red Diesel
Sir,
As MP for a coastal town, I would imagine you might be a bit better informed on this subject than I am:
Would it be possible for you to let me know if the derogation of red diesel will cease in 2007, as I have been told it may do.
I believe the Government has to request an extension for tax exemption from the EU...has this been done?
If the Red diesel for marine use is to disappear, will it also disappear for farmers and non-road vehicles, or is it just for the leisure vehicles/vessels?
If the Red diesel for marine use is to disappear, where will the extra tax money go? The sea does not require the maintenance that the roads do, and the relatively small amount of tax that will be collected will not do much more than pay for the paperwork and policing (I imagine).
Any reply would be gratefully accepted.
Yours
James
