Proceeding contribution from Angus Brendan MacNeil (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

Of course, one point of the vehicle excise duty is to change people's behaviour, but as the hon. Member for Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross (John Thurso) pointed out, a change of behaviour cannot occur in every circumstance—and I am thinking particularly of crofters and farmers. Could the Government use the single farm payment as a mechanism for exempting crofters and farmers from this retrospective tax?
