HC Deb 21 May 1909 vol 5 c802W
Mr. CATHCART WASON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the feeling that the petrol used by medical men in carrying comfort and relief to the suffering should be taxed as lightly as possible, and also of the practical difficulties that present themselves in granting any abatement of the Petrol Tax in respect of any motors, commercial or otherwise, he will consider if it would be possible to exempt motors not exceeding 16. h.p. used exclusively by medical men from taxation?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

I am afraid I can only refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I gave on the 19th inst. to the hon. Member for West Cavan.
