The following question stood on the Order Paper in, the name of Lieut.-Colonel FREMANTLE:81. To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if his attention has been called to a resolution by the National Chamber of 1546 Trade, in June last, urging that, in view of the many financial demands made upon the business community during the month of January, the date for payment of the annual tax in respect of registration of motor vehicles or Road Fund licences, should be changed to May or June; and whether he is prepared to transfer the date for payment accordingly.
§ Lieut.-Colonel FREMANTLEOn a point of Order. May I ask the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if he can reply to this question, which is addressed to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Apparently the Chancellor of the Exchequer is not able to make a reply.
