Vol. 473 No. 4
39 Dr. O'Hanlon asked the Minister for the Environment the plans, if any, he has for each urban council to collect motor tax in their own area in view of the abolition of water charges and their replacement by motor taxation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1429/97]
I have no such plans. Provision will, however, be made by law to ensure that urban authorities receive an equitable share of the income from motor taxation collected by the county councils.
40 Mr. Nolan asked the Minister for the Environment the amount of funding received in motor taxation by each local authority for each of the years 1995 and 1996. [1174/97]
Details of the amounts of motor tax collected by each licensing authority for 1995 are contained in the reply to Question No. 308 of 25 July 1996. The figures for 1996 set out in the tabular statement to be circulated in the Official Report indicate the gross lodgments to the local motor tax accounts. They include receipts from sources such as driver licence duties and vehicle testing fees which will also be assigned to local authorities under the new arrangements set out in Better Local Government — A Programme for Change.
