HC Deb 01 January 1913 vol 46 cc349-50
26. Mr. FELL

asked what would be the Excise Duty charged upon alcohol manufactured in this country and used for the purpose of driving motor vehicles?

Mr. MASTERMAN

In the absence of special legislation, undenatured alcohol used for the purpose of driving motor vehicles would be chargeable with the ordinary rate of Spirit Duty.

Mr. FELL

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman to urge the Chancellor of the Exchequer to consider the matter when framing his next Budget?

Mr. MASTERMAN

I will convey the wish of the hon. Member to my right hon. Friend.
