HC Deb 07 May 1975 vol 891 c446W
39. Mr. Gwilym Roberts

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if, to avoid the desecration of country and town by old disused cars, he will seek to reimburse the last year's taxation payment to car owners who provide a certificate showing that they have surrendered their car at a local authority breaking-up yard; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Carmichael

To scatter the countryside and towns with disused cars is anti-social. It is also illegal. But the proposed concession would cost up to £40 million a year and would not be justified.
