HC Deb 10 March 1910 vol 14 cc1773-4W
Sir HOWELL DAVIES

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if the

registration of pigs in their area; and how many have not yet done so?

Sir E. STRACHEY

The information for which the hon. Member asks is as follow:—

exemptions granted to motor vans used for collecting and delivering goods are equally eligible for motor cars provided by business firms for commercial travellers, and which are strictly confined to business purposes only, particularly if the name of the firm be printed on the cars?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

The statutory exemption from Licence Duty in the case of motor cars used for the purpose of trade has reference to a motor car "which is constructed or adapted for use, and is used solely, for the conveyance of any goods or burden in the course of trade or husbandry, and whereon the Christian name and surname, and place of abode, or place of business of the person, or the name or style and principal, or only place of business of the company or firm, keeping the same, shall be visibly and legibly painted in letters of not less than one inch in length." The answer, therefore, is in the negative.
