HC Deb 23 March 1908 vol 186 cc1101-2
MR. VINCENT KENNEDY (Cavan, W.)

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will say whether an Irish owner of a motor car, registered in Ireland, who brings his car to England for a short period, is liable to be held up by the police, on the ground that he has not paid the fees chargeable in England for armorial bearings and for carriage tax, neither of which taxes are leviable in Ireland.

MR. ASQUITH

The police have no power to "hold up" the owner of a motor car on either ground.
