HC Deb 08 May 1980 vol 984 c226W
Mr. Gummer

asked the Minister of Transport whether it is possible to use the present road tax arrangements at Swansea to provide for a dual rate of car tax; and whether it would be feasible for such a dual rate to provide for a reduced level of car tax for those living in rural areas.

Mr. Fowler

Yes, but it would not be feasible to distinguish between rural and other motorists.
