Just to prove what an absolute waste of time NPAS will be. I saw this statistic today.
"the 3p per litre rise in fuel duty would raise 600 million pounds for the government".

So NPAS are scratching around trying to save the odd million here and there and all that the cost of the UK's very effective police air support. (well it is in my region anyway, I'm not so sure about Hampshire.)

If the government can raise £600m with one small flick of the pen like that, they won't give a toss about the pennies that NPAS are trying to save. Hopefully it will all fall over before too much damage is done.
