HC Deb 12 April 1869 vol 195 cc583-4
MR. VANCE

said, he would beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, "What course he intends to take in respect to the Duty paid to the Crown by the owners of Hackney Carriages in Dublin?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

Sir, the hon. Gentleman will find, if he looks at the Resolutions before the House, that it is the intention of the Government to abolish that Duty.

MR. VANCE

said, he wished to know whether he rightly understood that the Resolution did this, or whether it would not be necessary to effect it by a Supplementary Resolution?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

If it were necessary to propose any Supplementary Resolution it would be done; but we think there will be no necessity to do so. It is the intention of the Government to abolish these Duties.
