	question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 8 July 2019 to Question 272300, what the diesel duty revenues were from (a) shipping, (b) agriculture, (c) road users, (d) rail and (e) any other sectoral information held by his Department in each of the last 10 years.
	tabling member constituency	Kilmarnock and Loudoun

	uin	275232
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2019 answer text Duty is collected when fuel leaves a refinery or import terminal, so HMRC data does not break down diesel duty revenues by sectors where fuel is used. HMRC publishes information on historic fuel duty receipts on Page 5 of the <a href="https://www.uktradeinfo.com/Statistics/Tax%20and%20Duty%20Bulletins/Oils0519.xls" target="_blank">Hydrocarbon Oils Bulletin</a>. This shows receipts for diesel taxed at the full rate of duty for road use and also for rebated ‘gas oil’. This refers to marked diesel which is taxed at a reduced rate of duty because it is intended for off road use in sectors such as agriculture and construction, as well as for maritime and rail transport. answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 17/07/2019 12:39:22 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
