Memorandum by Freightliner (CC66)
This letter is in response to your Press Notice
58 inviting further comments on the Climate Change Levy.
We strongly support the suggestion from English,
Welsh and Scottish Railway Ltd that industries using environmentally-friendly
methods of transport should be rewarded through additional rebates
on the levy. We see this as acting as a further positive message
which has both symbolic and instrumental effect, and helps to
counter the adverse signals given by the suspension of the escalator
on Fuel Duty.
Please do not hesitate to let me know if I can
provide any further information.
Robert Goundry,
Director of Strategy
