§ Mr. BoatengThe Government extended the reduced rate of VED following consultation with motoring organisations who were generally supportive of the move.
Following its introduction the Government have received representations from motorists on a wide range of issues including the extension of this scheme, which ensured that an additional five million cars attracted the reduced rate of VED.
