Europe approves remote islands fuel duty discount
Plans for a motor fuel duty discount for remote island communities have been approved by the European Commission.
The UK government scheme for islands of the Inner and Outer Hebrides, the Northern Isles, the islands in the Clyde and the Isles of Scilly was accepted by Brussels.
The 5p per litre tax discount will apply to fuel consumed on the islands.
