We’re saving £1 billion of taxpayer money by removing VAT relief from some new Motability leases whilst ensuring the scheme still supports disabled people’s mobility and independence.

Yes, we would. We don’t want a situation where young people in America have got a higher rate of protection than young people in the UK.
