Lord Mandelson announced today a £100M increase to the vehicle scrappage scheme budget bringing total government funding to 400,000 units. He also announced proposals to extend the benefits to van owners with vehicles over 8 years old (i.e. vans registered on or before 28th February 2002) and for the age qualification for cars to be changed by 6 months to extend it to cars registered on or before 29 Feb 2000 (V registration).
