HC Deb 06 July 1896 vol 42 c794
MR. GORELL BARNES (Kent, Faversham)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether the Carriage Duty paid by the tramways is always £2 2s. for each car, neither more nor less?

MR. HANBURY

The Hackney Carriage Licence Duty of 15s. is payable in respect of every tramcar used for the conveyance of passengers, but I do not understand what the £2 2s. duty is to which the hon. Member refers. Perhaps he will oblige me with more information on this point.
