Vol. 467 No. 1

Written Answers. - Scrappage of Commercial Vehicles.

Seán Haughey

Ceist:

102 Mr. Haughey asked the Minister for Finance the plans, if any, he has to extend the ten year car scrappage scheme to commercial vehicles of over six tonnes, involving a grant of £5,000 after eight years due to the expense of maintaining such vehicles, in the interests of public safety; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12716/96]

The scrappage scheme, which I announced in my 1995 budget speech, applies to category A motor vehicles and is due to end on 31 December 1996. I have no plans to extend the scope of the scheme in the manner suggested by the Deputy.
