Mr. Sheerman

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what new incentives he will introduce to stimulate the use of less environmentally damaging vehicles as(a) taxis and (b) other public service carriers. [73207]

In Budget 2002, the Chancellor announced a number of measures to encourage reductions in the environmental impact of transport, which could apply equally to taxis and public service carriers. Any new incentives will be considered as part of the normal Budget process.
