Is it not logical to assume that such a tax, while unwelcome, would be used for road maintenance programmes? Logically, the answer is, "Yes" but we are now faced with another Government deception. Despite indications when the increase was announced after the budget that the revenue would be used for such a purpose, we now find that it will be used to replace Exchequer funding. In other words, we are once again being asked to prop up the Government.
