Red Diesel: Prices
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps she is taking to reduce the impact of changes to red diesel prices during peak harvest season.
Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
To support farmers with fuel cost pressures during peak harvest, this Government is taking decisive action to support farmers by cutting red diesel to its lowest rate in over 20 years, reducing the rates on red diesel by a third. We're committed to protecting the farming sector from global pressures including the war in Iran.
