I welcome the attempt to address mortgage relief but it was all taken back by the harsh increases in car tax. The Government gave on one hand and took with the other.

This is at best a maintenance budget desperately lacking in imagination when the Government could have grasped the opportunity before it. Although we are facing tougher economic times, this does not mean the budget can be totally lacking in imagination.
