Proceeding contribution from Danny Alexander (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 3 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Finance (No 2) Bill.
Finance (No. 2) Bill
I strongly support what my hon. Friend says on this point. In my constituency in the highlands of Scotland, the vast majority of people live in rural communities, a car is essential, few public transport alternatives exist and the price of petrol is much higher than in many other parts of the country. The amendment would enable pollution to be tackled through higher vehicle excise duty, while ensuring at the same time that those for whom a car is a necessity rather than a choice could be insulated from those costs.
