@Pamela1960 has just made an excellent point: on today's Farmers march there were many tractors (photographed often; number plates visible); unless these tractors had their red diesel drained & replaced with full-exice fuel farmers were breaking the law - see legal advice of red diesel usage below.

Q. will the HMRC now instruct the police or SFO to investigate the extent of these illegal actions & prosecute where there is clear evidence (much is already available)?

Short answer: no!

#farmers
Vehicles that will be allowed to use red include agricultural and horticultural vehicles, special vehicles, unlicensed vehicles and certain machines and appliances. Please remember they must only be doing an approved operation (of benefit to land/livestock) not just working off-road as is currently allowed.

Provided contractors are doing agricultural, horticultural, fish farming or forestry work they can continue to use red diesel driving to and from the farm, carrying materials or equipment needed for the job and removing waste resulting from their work.

At the moment it is legal to use red in off-road vehicles for non-agricultural work, provided these vehicles are not driven to the job on the road (e.g. work on sports fields). Currently these machines should be transported to jobs on a low loader so would not be driven on the road on red. After 1 April 2022, such vehicles will have to switch fuel to white for non-agricultural work (even if machines are unlicensed and never driven on the roads). Agricultural jobs will still be allowed on red.
