HC Deb 14 May 1888 vol 326 c152
SIR JOHN MOWBRAY (Oxford University)

asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether, having regard to the fact that clergymen going on duty did not pay turnpike tolls, he will exempt from taxation horses kept by incumbents in charge of parishes with large area, who are compelled to keep such horses for the pastoral visitation of their parishes?

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

It is provided in the Bill that duty be repaid in respect of one horse used by a minister of religion in the course of the year; and beyond this I do not think that any concession should be made.
