§ Any local authority using motor spirit for the purpose of supplying motive power to any motor fire engine provided by them or to any motor car kept by them while it is being used by them for the purposes of their fire brigade service shall be entitled to an allowance or repayment of the duty 2297 paid in respect of the motor spirit in the same manner as persons using motor spirit for purposes other than the supply of motive power for motor cars.
§ I think the anomalies which exist at the present time do happen to be well known. The idea I have is that the whole of the spirit used for motor fire engines and motor fire appliances should be exempted from the tax. As the law stands at the present time there is no duty charged upon spirit that is used for pumping fire engines.
§ Clause read a second time, and added to the Bill.
