HC Deb 19 June 1912 vol 39 c1656
18. Mr. HUNT

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the fact that the price of imported petrol has been artificially raised by a trust, he could see his way to removing the Excise Duty on Motor spirit manufactured in this country?

Mr. MASTERMAN

I am unable to accept the hon. Member's suggestion.
