MR. J. G. HAMILTONasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether he can do anything to remove the inconvenience which is caused to farmers by the recent alteration in the regulations for levying the Horsedealers' Licence Duty?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERsaid: I have, Sir, great pleasure in informing my hon. Friend that a few days ago an Order was passed by the Board of Inland Revenue which I hope will give the relief required. The effect of it is that farmers will be relieved 1219 from the horsedealers' duty in respect of sales of fillies and colts under five years old which have been stocked on the farm.
