HC Deb 09 March 1933 vol 275 cc1325-6
58. Colonel BALDWIN-WEBB

asked the Minister of Transport whether in view of the fact that, owing to paragraph 134 of the Salter Report foreshadowing the allocation of £36,500,000 balance of road costs to passenger vehicles, uncertainty continues and is holding up a number of municipal and other transport schemes, thereby aggravating unemployment, he will remove this uncertainty by a statement on the point?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of TRANSPORT (Lieut.-Colonel Headlam)

I am unable to add to the answer given to my hon. and gallant Friend on the 21st February to the effect that questions of taxation are Budget matters which cannot be anticipated.
