CAR TAX

Early day motion 236, tabled 10 December 2008 by Lindsay Hoyle (Labour). Signed by 37 members.

That this House calls on the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) to provide people with incentives to buy and renew their car tax at local post office branches; notes that the DVLA currently encourages people to renew their car tax on-line by entering individuals into a competition to win a free SEAT car; expresses its concern that the DVLA is not promoting British manufacturing by providing a free British-built car and that the prize is only offered to those who have internet access; and further calls on the DVLA to broaden its incentive to include those who use the Post Office in order to support the network while giving people greater flexibility to renew their car tax.

Signatures by party: Labour 25, Liberal Democrat 6, Conservative 2, Independent 2, DUP 1, Scottish National Party 1.
