You missed the point. Legislating for the construction industry to

Perhaps, but Gordon Brown's company car tax changes (of which I am a
major beneficiary) have changed what is being made (imagine a diesel
BMW or Jaguar 10 years back) and what people are buying.

Very true. The government can encourage people to do thing by various
methods.
