HC Deb 16 February 1920 vol 125 c491
20. Mr. LYNN

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether it is possible to make the same concession to clergymen as to doctors of remitting one-half of the tax on petrol which they use when engaged on professional duty?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of TRANSPORT (Mr. Neal)

I have been asked to answer this question.' The whole question of the taxation of mechanically-propelled road vehicles is at present being considered by a Departmental Committee. The point mentioned by my hon. Friend will be taken into consideration by the Committee.

Mr. MACQUISTEN

Cannot the doctors simply raise their fees?
