An awful lot of the cars were not scrapped for bigger cars, they found a lot of the cars bought were smaller cars.
And how do you improve a 20 yr old cars CO2 emmissions and safety,?
Surely from a green perspective, it makes more sense to take higher polluting cars off the road
The idea was as useful for the economy as a "foreign holiday support scheme".
One has to admire FF's ability to give the economy one last kick in the groin before they left office...
A foreign holidays support scheme (FHSS) would keep Ryanair and a couple of travel agents in business too.I have to disagree there. It was useful. It kept a number of car dealerships in business, which meant that some people managed to keep their jobs (granted not all)!
Agree with the main thrust of your argument Chris but I can't agree on there being less second hand cars around as a result. The opposite is the case because I believe the cars supposedly scrapped are still on the road!
came across as madness to me to destroy imported items to buy more imported items using tax payers money, while cutting spending everywhere else
