Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Lord Hammond of Runnymede and Chi Onwurah

Tuesday 9th April 2019 Commons Chamber

[Mr Hammond]

I am bemused by the disappearance of Mr Angry, who I am quite used to dealing with at the Dispatch Box. As I said earlier, we have a good track record on decarbonisation and addressing air quality challenges. We provide substantial support for ultra low emission vehicles, we have a highly differentiated vehicle excise duty and company car tax regime, which encourages the purchase of the cleanest and most efficient vehicles, and we will go on seeking to change behaviour through a carefully constructed tax system.

[Chi Onwurah (Newcastle upon Tyne Central) (Lab)]
