Question to the HM Treasury:

If he will make an assessment of the potential merits of postponing the planned changes to red diesel regulations following the increases in fuel prices.

To help meet Net Zero and improve UK air quality, we are reducing the entitlement to use red diesel, which enjoys a duty discount, to come into effect this April.

The full duty rate more fairly reflects the damaging impact of diesel emissions and will incentivise the development of greener alternatives.
