Sir, – Again and again we read of the very lucrative practice of laundering diesel being uncovered by customs officers. We know there is significant revenue loss because of this illegal activity. But why?
Is it not time we stopped colouring diesel and creating a dual supply chain cost overhead? Could we not have everyone pay the same price at the pumps and offer a rebate to those fortunate enough to be subsidised in their use of diesel? It seems so easy really! – Yours, etc,
