Petition To make all agricultural vehicles have a road fund licence and remove the concession that allows agricultural vehicles to use red diesel

At a time when HM Treasury are seeking to reduce the current deficit this petition seeks to place at least some of the burden of that reduction on the most subsidised industry in the country. Agricultural vehicle do not need to have a road fund licence ( tax disc) yet regularly use the public road system to the inconvenience of other motorists nor do they pay duty on the fuel that they use. This petition seeks to instruct the Chancellor of the Exchequer to remove the concession on fuel duty and introduce legislation to ensure that all agricultural vehicles using the public road network have a road fund licence. The rate of this licence to be commensurate with the inconvenience these vehicles cause other road users.
