HC Deb 22 May 1928 vol 217 cc1681-2
54. Sir ROBERT NEWMAN

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the services rendered to the trade of the country by commercial travellers, he will consider making some rebate to them under the proposed new Petrol Tax for petrol used for the cars employed by them solely for their business?

Mr. SAMUEL

May I draw my hon. Friend's attention to the statement made by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the House on 1st May in which he said that he could not admit any inroads into the integrity and sanctity of the Petrol Tax.
