The chief executive of the British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (BVRLA) has told the Commons Transport Committee that trust has broken down between the business motorist and the government.

Chief executive John Lewis said that too many taxes on motorists are viewed as simply being there to make money rather than trying to positively influence driving behaviours.

"I think that mistrust is perhaps taking us away from applying real taxes, perhaps an overall review of the tax system and giving us a national road pricing system," Mr Lewis told the commons committee.
