HC Deb 31 January 1887 vol 310 c269
MR. ANDERSON (Elgin and Nairn)

asked the First Lord of the Treasury, If he has considered a recent communication addressed to him on the subject of the repeal of the Carriage Tax and the Gun Tax; and, whether any decision thereon has been arrived at by Her Majesty's Government?

THE FIRST LORD (Mr. W. H. SMITH) (Strand, Westminster)

I am sure the hon. Member will see that it is impossible for the Government to give any information as to the provisions of the Budget before it is stated to the House by the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
