Well that was an unnecessary 10 seconds of stress due to the way he announced it!!Heart just stopped but keeping the relief for agricultural use

Wouldn’t say that here we go. 2 years for business before it goes but agriculture gets relief as well as rail and fishing.
Think he probably just put the cost of HS2 construction up by 20%... be interesting to see the details... diggers will be an interesting one.. might see more farm drainage being down with tractor mounted ones in future!Who does this effect then? Diggers?
Lots of others been lobbying also, including the TFA. Well done George Dunn.Well done to Mark Spencer and the NFU, both got a mention!
my little woman drives a disco the point i was trying to make is the price of fuel has very little effect on its consumption, but politicians use it as an excuse to impose more tax, its not just fuel booze and fags ,they put more tax on them for your own good, i don't think so!I was referring to your “buy the wife a little runabout” comment - apologies if you feel such an attitude is contemporary, but it certainly isn’t in most households. Of course, I may have misunderstood your post - it’s not easy to follow in the absence of any punctuation.
So is the hold on duty only for NFU members?And the NFU lobbying got a mention.......................
And no rise in duty for TFA members as well?Lots of others been lobbying also, including the TFA. Well done George Dunn.
Yes construction probably the biggest user of red dieselWho does this effect then? Diggers?
Many people believe what is passed off as fact if it is given with an air of authority, so i cant bare to let this pass without correction....
Tractor speed limits were comparatively recently raised to 25mph (40kmh) providing the tractor and equipment are no wider than 2.55m. Many medium and larger tractors already exceed this width.
Over 2.55m and up to 3.5m the speed limit is 20mph
Only JCB Fastrac and Mercedes Unimog currently meet the regulatory requirements to travel at 65kmh, and machinery towed or carried has to be no wider than 2.55m and built to the same higher regulatory requirements to travel at these speeds
Yes construction probably the biggest user of red diesel
Construction industry won't stick that. Why in the heck should mining and construction lose red?
Fuel will be a tiny part of the cost of HS2. Trust me...the price of railway equipment is just extraordinary.Think he probably just put the cost of HS2 construction up by 20%... be interesting to see the details... diggers will be an interesting one.. might see more farm drainage being down with tractor mounted ones in future!
It's a supprisingly small percentage of cost in house building.Construction industry won't stick that. Why in the heck should mining and construction lose red?
