§ Mr. Cartwrightasked the Minister of Transport what proposals he is considering for the extension of vehicle excise duty to cover vehicles not used on the road ; what exceptions would be available to owners engaged in renovation of older vehicles ; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. FowlerWe are studying the possibility of a tax on possession, but have not yet reached a conclusion. I of course recognise that if such a proposal was adopted then it would be necessary to make special arrangements for certain vehicles.
