HC Deb 30 April 1888 vol 325 cc902-3
MR. PICKERSGILL (Bethnal Green, S.W.)

asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether he is aware that there are over 400 hearses in the Metropolis; and, whether these have been included in his Estimate of the produce of the Wheel Tax?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. GOSCHEN) (St. George's, Hanover Square)

No, Sir; hearses are not included in the definition of a trade cart. They have, therefore, not been included in my Estimate.
