So what would have helped the car industry without the scrappage scheme? Sit there do nothing in recession, no incentive to buy a car off the showroom thus dealerships would still go under; Honda/Swindon halted production before the 2009 budget and introduction of scrappage scheme.The world according to Taki Inoue: https://mobile.twitter.com/takiinoue/st ... 7249326080

Firstly what is so special about the car industry over any other struggling industry that got zero help only hindrance from Nu Labour.
A tax / rates cut would help everyone and not just bottle up a dip for the future which the scrappage scheme did (which all the garages / distributors are now enjoying).
20% tax across the board and 50% cut in business rates - bingo economy back working.
