I understand exactly what the Chairman is saying and I agree with him. The design of the system is inherently discriminatory because of the disparity between the prices of motor taxation for old and new cars. Of course the disparity would get worse and worse the older the cars are. I would like to see the numbers. How many cars are on the road? I am told the figure is 2 million.
