HC Deb 02 March 1970 vol 797 cc41-2W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, as a means of saving in administrative costs, increasing revenue, reducing road traffic and thereby speeding the flow, he will in his forthcoming Budget consider ending the present system of road fund licence and increase petrol tax to ensure the same revenue return as that now received with the petrol tax and road excise licence.

Mr. Taverne

I cannot anticipate my right hon. Friend's Budget Statement.
