Got a newsletter through he post today from the Lib Dems, MEP Chris Huhne is backing the boating public and objecting to the Tax.

The Tax is proposed in a Government consultation document issued by the DoT Mr Huhne commented “ it would be ridiculously costly to collect and would involve many weekend sailors forking out for services they do not use.”

Hi, thanks for your support, please pass on detials to fellow boaters etc, the more people that take 5 mins to fill out the survey the better it will be.
