Select Committee on Environment, Transport and Regional Affairs Appendices to the Minutes of Evidence


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

November 1999
