Proceeding contribution from Adam Price (Plaid Cymru) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.
Finance Bill
Does the hon. Lady agree that even from an environmental perspective, this retrospective policy makes no sense whatever, particularly if its purpose is meant to be carbon reduction? It ignores the huge carbon cost involved in the purchase of a new car. It has been estimated that even a Toyota Prius has to run for 100,000 miles before it pays for the carbon cost of swapping an older car for a new car. It makes no sense.
