§ Mr. BEALEasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, having regard to the object of the proposed tax on motor vehicles and petrol, he will consider the advisability of giving to road surveyors the same abatement as proposed for doctors and certain tradesmen, or some other relief from the heavy burden which the new tax will impose on road surveyors having the charge of large areas, and necessarily dependent on motor vehicles for the adequate discharge of their duties?
§ Mr. LLOYD-GEORGEI regret that I cannot see my way to extend to road surveyors the proposed abatement in favour of doctors.
