View answerThe issue of the designation of the licensed haulage sector as a special essential user category is a matter for the Minister for Finance, as it relates to the rebating of fuel and road toll charges. I understand that the haulage industry has made a budget submission in this regard to the Minister for Finance for his consideration.
