It will force everyone to use alloy, aluminium or steel frames from its introduction. ;-)

I'm awaiting detailed analysis from the tax man but my understanding is it will price many out of the market. Hopefully there will only be a handful of us that can still afford such top - end materials as a result....

Its OK .. Bikes are exempt...unless the cyclist is a chain smoker.
In that event discount codes can be got from the LBS.

You'd think that, but in line with the BreakingNews policy for absolute tripe "journalism" that "announcement" was never actually from a government source, and they just picked up some soundbite from one of the voucher scheme operators that they would be continuing to provide their service for another 5 years. While it has obviously not been abolished, the Govt have kept completely quiet as opposed to committing to anything like that.
