Sir, - Am I the only eejit who thought that the purpose of the scrappage scheme was to take bangers off the road? Now I read that dealers can sell them back to the public. Even if it's only a couple of hundred pounds per car, they'd be fools not to.

How many bangers have been recycled in this way and will they qualify again, at some time in the future, for a further £1,000 if the scheme is maintained? The Minister and SIMI should be answering these questions now. - Yours, etc.,
