HC Deb 01 December 1938 vol 342 c596
74. Mr. Day

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether duty is charged on petrol imported for the use of the Navy, Army and Royal Air Force, or whether this is supplied free of taxation?

Captain Wallace

Duty is charged on petrol imported for the use of the Defence Services on the same lines as that used by other consumers.

Mr. Day

Is it released from bond duty free?

Captain Wallace

The procedure is exactly the same as for anybody else.
