Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how his Department scrutinises the operation of red diesel relief.

Only businesses approved by HMRC may supply red diesel. Registered Dealers in Controlled Oils must comply with strict rules to restrict access to legitimate rebated fuel users, and provide detailed information on their supplies for assurance by HMRC on a risk basis. HMRC's fleet of mobile testing units also test for misuse of red diesel in road vehicles.
