(1)The Hydrocarbon Oil Duties Act 1979 (“the 1979 Act”) shall have effect in relation to such cases as may be specified in an order made by the Treasury as if references in that Act to hydrocarbon oil or to road fuel gas included references to any [F2energy product] which is designated by that order as a substance which is to be treated for the purposes of that Act as the equivalent of hydrocarbon oil or, as the case may be, of road fuel gas.

(2)The Treasury may by order provide, in relation to any substance which by virtue of this section is to be treated for the purposes of the 1979 Act as the equivalent of hydrocarbon oil [F3or road fuel gas], for that substance to be treated for the purposes of such of the provisions of that Act as may be specified in the order [F4as if it fell within such class or description of substance] [F5as may be so specified].

(3)In exercising their powers under this section, the Treasury shall so far as practicable secure that [F6an energy product] which is intended for, or capable of being put to, a particular use is treated for the purposes of the 1979 Act as if it were [F7the substance] to which, when put to that use, it is most closely equivalent.
