§ SIR HENRY TYLER (Great Yarmouth)asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether he will take into consideration the question of horses employed by medical men and ministers of religion with a view to the modification of the proposed tax in the cases of such horses, if he cannot see his way to relinquish it?
THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. GOSCHEN) (St. George's, Hanover Square)As I have already informed an hon. Member, the Government are giving consideration to the special reasons which seem to justify the claim of medical men and ministers of religion to enjoy certain exemptions with regard to the Horse Duty. I am studying the precedents, and I hope to be able to a certain extent to meet my hon. Friend's views.
