HC Deb 07 July 1982 vol 27 c114W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether further consideration has been given to the representations s of the Joint Committee on Mobility for the Disabled for an extension of exemption from vehicle excise duty to disabled drivers and disabled non-drivers who are unable to claim the mobility allowance, being over the age of 65 years.

Sir Geoffrey Howe

I have on a number of occasions, and always sympathetically, considered representations for extensions of this kind to the existing exemptions from vehicle excise duty. I have however concluded with regret that the resources available do not at present permit any extension.
