Motorists could receive cash payments from the Government of up to £2,000 to trade in their old gas guzzler for a new eco-friendly model, The Daily Telegraph has learned.
Ministers are actively considering a "scrappage" incentive scheme, similar to those already introduced in a number of European Union countries.
It would be introduced as an emergency measure during the recession, and would have the additional benefit of helping the industry to reach the Government's green targets.
This is the start of printing money.
Next week, government will hand out £10K to anyone who lives in a Labour marginal.
