HC Deb 30 October 1930 vol 244 c204
61. Sir F. HALL

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is proposed to continue the McKenna duties on imported motor cars; and what was the revenue obtained from these duties during the year ended 30th September, 1930?

Mr. P. SNOWDEN

As regards the first part of the question I am not prepared to make any new statement. As regards the second part, the approximate net revenue from the duty on imported motor cars, etc., for the year ended 30th September last was £1,747,000.

Sir F. HALL

When will the right hon. Gentleman be in a position to make a statement regarding the continuance or discontinuance of these duties?

Mr. SNOWDEN

If it is pertinent, I shall make it in the next Budget statement.

Mr. O'CONNOR

Is this House to understand that this industry is going to be left for another winter in the same state of uncertainty as it was last year?
