I would like to remind motorists in his constituency that they can still take part in the car scrappage scheme.

Figures released show that more than three quarters of the budget for the Labour Government’s hugely successful scrappage scheme has been used up by individuals and families boosting UK car sales and helping the car industry through the downturn. Funding for less than 82,000 new vehicles orders is left for consumers to take advantage of under the scheme, as it nears its end.

Time is running out for you to get a great deal on a new car by trading in your old one.  If you have been thinking about taking advantage of the scrappage scheme then now is the time. 

Labour’s car scrappage scheme has kept our car industry going during these tough times and offered great value for motorists. It shows how the Labour Government is investing through difficult times to give real help to people and protect jobs and businesses. 

We didn’t leave the industry to sink or swim during this difficult global downturn as the Tories did in the 1990s.
