§ 63. Wing-Commander Hulbertasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider appointing a committee to examine the present system of motor taxation with a view to securing a basis of calculation designed to encourage the construction of higher horse-power engines whereby British manufacturers would be in a more advantageous position to compete in overseas markets.
§ Sir J. AndersonI am at present engaged in a review of the system of motor taxation, and in this review full weight is being given to the consideration mentioned by my hon. and gallant Friend.
§ Mr. LeachWill the right hon. Gentleman see to it that no higher powered cars get on the highways?
§ Sir J. AndersonI will not make any commitments.
