HC Deb 05 May 1931 vol 252 cc203-4
50. Sir C. OMAN

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will take measures to implement the recommendations of the Royal Commission on Transport by imposing heightened licence duties on commercial vehicles weighing more than four tons unladen?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

My right hon. Friend cannot undertake to add to the Budget proposals which he has just laid before the House.

Mr. LAWTHER

Would not this proposal involve a further tax upon industry?
