In my opinion it would not count towards accessing public funds. The scheme is not income based and has been devised to help the economy/car manufacturers indirectly by encouraging.

Hi nksg,

This is similar to any other high street offers to promote products(in this case cars). This is not considered as accessing public funds.Infact, this should be taken as helping economy :-)

Read this pdf file on public funds. Relevant excerpt:
What are public funds?
‘Public funds’ include a range of income related benefits, together with housing and homelessness support. The full list is as follows:
• income-based jobseeker’s allowance
• income support
• child tax credit
• working tax credit
• a social fund payment
• child benefit
• housing benefit
• council tax benefit
• state pension credit
• attendance allowance
• severe disablement allowance
• carer’s allowance
• disability living allowance
• an allocation of local authority housing
• local authority homelessness assistance
If still doubtful - contact UKBA

Very interesting question because it is a goverment funded operation and there is only a limited fund from which to get the money from. I would be interested in the result.
