HC Deb 27 July 1911 vol 28 c1821
Mr. BURGOYNE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, since in the case of high-powered cars many owners have already paid in taxes more than their market value, he will consider a graduation of the Motor Car Tax according to age, fixing a period at which the vehicle, owing to age and lack of market value, shall be entirely exempt?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

My right hon. Friend is appointing a Committee to advise as to any changes which should be made in the Treasury Regulations respecting horse-power, and they will no doubt consider whether any concession is called for in respect of a car the effective horsepower of which is diminished through age.
