Infrastructure Minister Jason Moorhouse says his department has no plans to lower vehicle tax for hauliers - because it doesn't have the powers to do so.
In the house of Keys this week, he faced questions from Glenfaba and Peel MHK Katryna Baptist about help for companies facing rising fuel costs.
She wanted to know if the DOI would cut road tax for the logistics industry.
But Mr Moorhouse told members it couldn't be done:
