I have no doubt that the tax increases on petrol and derv will affect all those living in rural areas.
They chose derv because it costs only £85 million.
I was obviously delighted about the 10p off derv.
One is the approach suggesting an across the board reduction in the duty on derv and petrol.
I accept that the reduction on derv is welcome.
The £85 million is not to recoup the money lost on derv.
We are talking not about derv but about the gaming machine licence duty.
When that figure was disturbed by the cut in the tax on derv, the logical way to replace it was to look at those concessions.
