HC Deb 29 November 2000 vol 357 c610W
Mr. Öpik

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will make a statement on the means of accessing the fund for replacement of old vehicles with newer more fuel efficient ones. [140252]

Mr. Hill

The Government will consult with, among others, the haulage industry on the measures to be included in, and arrangements for, the £100 million fund to offer further incentives or allowances for scrapping older more polluting lorries, encouraging cleaner lorries and technology and reviewing the training needs of the HGV industry.
