Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what discussions she has had with the Transport Department on switching road tax to be on a per mile basis.

Treasury Ministers have regular discussions with other government departments on a range of matters.

Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) applies to vehicles used or kept on public roads, which does not vary by miles driven. However, fuel duty applies to the petrol or diesel used by motorists driving internal combustion engine vehicles; the greater the miles driven, the more fuel duty incurred.
