Finance Bill

Proceeding contribution from Geraint Davies (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 November 2022. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Finance Bill.

Is the Treasury looking into the possibility of higher taxes on SUVs? These much larger vehicles consume more petrol and diesel, but also take up more parking space and kill more children and other pedestrians. They also stick out in the road and obstruct cyclists. The number of SUVs is increasing enormously. Is there any reason for the fact that the Minister did not look into that higher taxation, perhaps some political reason? It would clearly be a good environmental and economic initiative.
