Proceeding contribution from Bob Spink (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 March 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Motoring.
Motoring
I congratulate the hon. Gentleman on bringing this issue to the House. It is, of course, very important for his constituents in Ribble Valley. I will now say something that Jeremy Clarkson may not want me to say. Why should we not get rid of the tax disc altogether and put all the tax on the fuel? Then there would be no avoidance, it would be an environmentally very sound policy, it would raise more tax, and it would save an awful lot of money that is currently being spent on administration.
