Asked by: Lord Hart of Tenby (Conservative - Life peer)

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what studies the Government is undertaking on the future of the vapour recovery scheme; and when conclusions from such studies will be published.

Answered by Baroness Morgan of Cotes

This information is held on a HMRC database and includes excise identification and approval numbers unique to the traders listed. For taxpayer confidentiality reasons this information is not publically available, and there is no intention to publish it.

Eligibility criteria for a duty deferment guarantee waiver under the Excise Payment Security System do not apply to or exclude particular sectors. These criteria are published by HMRC, and apply to all applicants.

HMRC is considering the future of the vapour recovery scheme as part of the wider work programme to determine the appropriate course of action in respect of all their extra-statutory concessions.

The Government's policy is not to allow duty suspended movements within the UK, this is both for administrative simplicity and to reduce the opportunities for criminal activity and fraud.
