Professor John FitzGerald:

I can only say that in my choice, which was made three years ago, I went for a hybrid electric car. My next one will definitely be electric, although I hope the hybrid will last. The technology is changing so rapidly that my judgment is, although this is not something that the council has considered, that we should keep the incentives where they are and, within two or three years, it will become the cheaper option for people.

My other concern is we will increase the incentives when there are problems in getting cars.
