HC Deb 25 March 1968 vol 761 c224W
Mr. Buchanan-Smith

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what estimate he has made of the cost in a full year to agriculture and to horticulture, respectively, of the increase in vehicle licence duty.

Mr. Ross

I estimate that the direct cost to agriculture and horticulture in Scotland will be about £300,000 in a full year. No sufficiently reliable assessment can be made for agriculture and horticulture separately.
