§ MR. BROOKE ROBINSON (Dudley)To ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can state the amount paid to the Exchequer during the past financial year in respect of carriage licences for horse-drawn carriages and for motor-propelled carriages respectively.
(Answered by Mr. Austen Chamberlain.) No, Sir. No distinction is drawn in the books of the Inland Revenue Department between horse-drawn and motor-propelled carriages of under one ton or over five Ions in weight, no additional duty being 756 chargeable on motor-cars outside those limits.
