HC Deb 20 February 1951 vol 484 c1060
50. Mr. Redmayne

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer in what year he estimates that pre-war cars will cease by virtue of being obsolete to provide revenue from Road Fund licences.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer (Mr. Gaitskell)

I would not hazard even a guess.

Mr. Redmayne

I do not know anything about the Chancellor's guess, but does he not agree that it would be a good thing to keep these cars in use by bringing in a flat rate of tax this year?

Mr. Gaitskell

That is a matter for the Budget.
