Finance Bill

Proceeding contribution from Mark Field (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 26 October 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance Bill.

I congratulate the hon. Lady on her debut at the Dispatch Box, and I hope she will be looking across in precisely the same direction for many years to come. Will she give at least some thought to what was said by the Minister, in that there is a delicate balance to be struck here? We are trying not only to encourage people to have low-emission vehicles—this is not just about carbon dioxide, because nitrogen dioxide is increasingly seen as being a problem, although none of this legislation properly addresses that—but to ensure that relatively less well-off people who perhaps have to hang on to a car for many years should not be artificially

penalised. Does she not recognise that the balance the Government have tried to put in place is at least a sensible one?
