HC Deb 25 March 1968 vol 761 c200W
Mr. Buchanan-Smith

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what estimate he has made of the cost in a full year to agriculture and horticulture, respectively, of the increase in vehicle licence duty.

Mr. Peart

I estimate that the in-increases in vehicle licence duties announced in the Budget will add about £2½ million to costs in a full year for agriculture and horticulture together in the United Kingdom. About a tenth of this is attributable to horticulture.
