Fun fact: the tax exemption on red diesel (46p x 5bn litres) comes to a subsidy larger than all of the reliefs we throw at Film, TV and Video games, and about three times the entire Innovate UK budget!

One of the most interesting episodes in my career was trying - and failing - to get the local HMRC official to implement ministers’ decision to allow general use of red diesel during the fuel protests in 2000. Wanted a direct ministerial instruction (which he got and spoke several octaves higher).

Not complaining about your main point though. Very well made.
Btw the OECD "QuIS" database sets them all out together - it's really good
