Clause 18 - Fee for payment of duty by credit card
Finance Bill
4:15 pm
Mr Quentin Davies (Grantham and Stamford, Conservative)
Is not it the case that motoring organisations, motorists and those who were presumably asked about the proposals in the survey have expressed a desire to have the opportunity to settle this liability by credit card? However, they are not prepared to have the additional tax or charge, and it would be quite disingenuous of the Minister to confuse the two issues. Surely he is not trying to tell the Committee that motoring organisations and the survey suggest that there is public demand for the additional charge.
