Ms Josephine Feehily:

I would be happy to do that. We have a particularly interesting story to tell about diesel. For two years we have been pursuing a particular project-driven approach, using the law, licences, enforcement and supply chain analysis. For example, we have closed down approximately 120 retail outlets in the last two years. We are facing continual judicial review in this work. We are now involved in a joint procurement exercise with Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs to get a single marker for the island of Ireland. That would be hugely important. There is no point in changing the regime unless this happens. I can certainly give the committee a comprehensive report on the work we are doing working closely with the trade. The diesel story is an interesting one. I will do likewise with tobacco.
