HC Deb 07 April 1919 vol 114 c1703W
Major GLYN

asked the Home Secretary if he will consider whether the time is now opportune to abolish the special war tax of 6d. added to the registered fare marked upon the taxi-meter of motor cabs in the Metropolitan area, and to substitute, for a period of one year, a revised scale of authorised fares upon the basis of a shilling charged for each mile travelled?

Mr. SHORTT

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the replies which I gave on the 25th and 26th March to the hon. Members for the Cleveland and Leominster Divisions.
