BCC hails start of UK’s car scrappage scheme
18/05/09 | 11:16
Commenting at the start of the UK’s car scrappage scheme, David Frost, Director General of the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), said:
“A scrappage scheme is exactly the sort of policy we need during a recession. It will boost demand and help the environment at the same time.
“The automotive industry will be central to driving our economy out of recession, and it employs thousands of highly skilled people producing efficient vehicles for the global market. It would be a tragedy to lose these precious skills during this downturn.”
