Proceeding contribution from John Hayes (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 24 November 2005. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Road Pricing.
Road Pricing
: Can the Minister just explore the regressive nature of the tax? He responded effectively to the point made by my hon. Friend the Member for Ruislip-Northwood (Mr. Hurd) by saying that there might be some way of returning the money to the community, but that does not deal with the regressive quality of this potential tax. I am particularly worried about essential car users and about rural and semi-rural areas—the pilot could cover a combined suburban and rural area in particular districts. How will the Minister deal with those issues?
