Mr. Davidson: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what steps he is taking to ensure that red diesel is not misused; how many
prosecutions there have been for misuse in each of the last five years; how many prosecutions were successful; what penalties were
levied in each case; and if he will make a statement. [146739]
Mr. Timms: Customs have a network of road fuel testing teams located regionally throughout the UK to ensure that rebated heavy oils,
including red diesel, are not misused as fuel by road vehicles. These teams run testing vehicles in the UK which operate as mobile
laboratories able to test for the chemical markers present in rebated oil.
Since 1996-97, Customs, excluding Northern Ireland, have prosecuted 20 cases of road fuel offences, involving red diesel, and have
been successful in all cases. As a result of these prosecutions a total of £10,850 in penalties and 12 custodial sentences have been
imposed. The figures for Northern Ireland are not currently available.
