HC Deb 16 October 1945 vol 414 cc922-3
70. Wing-Commander Hulbert

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can give an estimate of the additional petrol tax which would raise revenue equivalent to that produced by the present system of motor-car taxation.

Mr. Dalton

An additional 8d. a gallon assuming pre-war mileages.

Wing-Commander Hulbert

Does not the right hon. Gentleman realise that a petrol tax would be a very much more equitable form of tax?

Mr. Dalton

We will perhaps discuss that next week.
