That this House calls on the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) to provide people with incentives to buy and renew their car tax at local post office branches; notes that the DVLA currently encourages people to renew their car tax online by entering individuals into a competition to win a free SEAT car; expresses its concern that the DVLA is not promoting British manufacturing by providing a free British-built car and that the prize is only offered to those who have internet access; and further calls on the DVLA to broaden its incentive to include those who use the Post Office in order to support the network while giving people greater flexibility to renew their car tax.

That this House notes that proposals are currently being considered for a congestion charge to be introduced in Manchester; further notes that local authorities and residents within Greater Manchester are being consulted in relation to this matter but considers that there is a worrying lack of recognition that many people from Lancashire and other counties neighbouring Greater Manchester also travel into Manchester on a regular basis either for work, business, studying or leisure purposes; further notes the huge impact such a charge would have on such people, particularly as rail networks to and from Manchester are already overcrowded, leaving commuters with no option but to use the car; and therefore calls on the Government to extend the consultation to areas such as Lancashire, Cheshire, Derbyshire, Yorkshire and Merseyside where any congestion charge would have a serious impact on local people.

That this House notes that one in seven of the heaviest lorries on UK roads now comes from overseas; recognises that these vehicles contribute nothing towards the costs they impose in terms of road wear and air quality, which in turn gives them an unfair competitive advantage over UK hauliers, who face higher duties; and calls on the Government to introduce a vignette (Brit disc) which will act as a daily charge levied on a non-national vehicle operating in another EU state.

That this House notes that the price of crude oil has recently fallen to $90 per barrel; recognises that this is a consequence of the fluctuations of the stock market which have caused concern over future levels of demand for crude oil; notes that the price of petrol has steadily risen to reach well over 100 pence per litre on the premise that these prices reflect the rise in oil prices; and calls on the main petrol retailers to match the recent decline in oil prices by reducing the price of petrol.

That this House is concerned at the freedom the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency holds under regulation 27 of the Road Vehicles (Registration and Licensing) Regulations to release names and addresses of car owners to private companies; notes that the law expresses reasonable cause as being sufficient reason to release such data but defines the term no further; considers that the release of the information poses the risk of abuse by non regulated recipients such as clamping companies; and believes that information should be released only for the purposes of maintaining road safety.

That this House notes the number of cars run by the police, ambulance service, fire service, Government departments and agencies, such as HM Coastguard and Transport Police and Ministry of Defence Police, which are built abroad; recognises the need to support British manufacturing and promote UK car and commercial vehicle production; and believes that the Government should take a lead in this area by ensuring that vehicles purchased by these authorities are built in the UK.
