Unlike other industries, road haulage is so cossetted it doesn't even have to apply for subsidy, it gets it without having to ask. So in fact there is no evidence, merely your groundless opinion that trucks don't pay their way. Taxation on lorries in particular and road vehicles in general has been significantly reduced in recent years. That's subsidy by any measure. Or an indication that they were set too high, a sizeable proportion of the UK fleet flagged out and Gorgon relented in the face of unpresented opposition. That's the reality, subsidy is not even part of the equation, the increases were just a stealth tax too far and HMG didn't want another fuel tax type blocade. As usual, the government bottled out and caved in to the road lobby. They realised that it was a tax too far, so where is the subsidy for my lorry? |
