Car scrappage scheme 'would be popular'

Research has suggested that the car scrappage scheme which is currently being discussed by the government would prove popular among motorists in the UK.

A survey conducted by uSwitch.com suggested that 250 million people in the UK would like to take advantage of the scheme, which would offer drivers incentives to trade older cars in for newer, greener vehicles.

The scheme, which may be introduced as part of Alistair Darling's budget tomorrow, is also designed to help the car manufacturing industry, which has been badly hit by the recession.

Mark Monteiro, insurance expert at uSwitch.com, said: "Motorists actively want to be able purchase new cars but are financially restricted as everyone tightens their purse strings during the downturn."

He added that similar schemes are currently operating successfully in Germany.

Earlier this month the government announced that it will be offering financial incentives to people who buy electric cars from 2011.
