Proceeding contribution from Stewart Hosie (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 25 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.

Finance Bill

The 3 per cent. figure is interesting, because it solves some of the difficulties that we have had previously with the various definitions of remote, rural and sparsely populated areas. The implication of this is that it is the car owner who is liable to get the discount. Is the hon. Gentleman suggesting that it would be a car owner or a vehicle registered in a particular area, which would include the people who lived in that area? Does he intend that this will extend more widely in the remote areas that meet that 3 per cent. definition to take into consideration tourists who travel in such areas?
