HC Deb 01 March 1872 vol 209 cc1218-9
MR. J. G. HAMILTON

asked 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 EXCHEQUER

said: 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 from the horsedealers' duty in respect of sales of fillies and colts under five years old which have been stocked on the farm.
