HC Deb 02 February 1954 vol 523 c24W
85. Mr. Royle

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what consideration he is giving to the high rate of tax on Derv fuel oil; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. R. A. Butler

Full consideration is being given to the representations which have been received about the level of this duty, but, obviously, I cannot anticipate the Budget statement.
