Clause 16 - Vans registered on or after 1st march 2001: rates of duty
Finance Bill
10:15 am
Mr Paul Boateng (Financial Secretary, HM Treasury; Brent South, Labour)
I hear what the hon. Gentleman says and shall write to him and other Committee members. However, I do not want to hold out too much hope. If Ministers could not satisfy the concerns about a category of vehicles in the past, and they will not, it may well be that we shall not be able to satisfy concerns about this category of vehicles either. One must not add undue administrative or financial burden or still more complexity to the system. As I said in my opening remarks, to be a pioneer is in itself a satisfaction, and that may have to be enough. However, I shall explore the issue and write to hon. Members.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 16 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
