Will the Leader arrange a debate on VRT? Allowances are made in cases of disability, wherein vehicles are allowed tax relief if they are fuel efficient in terms of using alternative fuels. In light of the number of people being killed on our roads, perhaps we should consider reducing VRT on vehicles that pass certain very high safety standards in order to incentivise the companies that import them to advance safety features so we can reduce the carnage on the roads and do something positive.
