We have heard lots of reports from different people whose cars have been damaged as a result of diesel stretching. We cannot quantify the loss to the State but it causes environmental problems. It causes damage to the good, clean name of our agricultural exports and to people's cars. Why do we have this system at all? I cannot understand why we have two separate systems and later I will come to the cost of following it. It is a pointless system. If we had had no additions to it we would not have had any of the problems which have been referred to. The people in business, whether it is construction or farming, should be able to reclaim whatever they can. I have never met a farmer who is afraid to fill out a form if there is money at the other end of it so nobody should suggest that people will not do it.
