§ Captain MORRISON-BELLasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will grant an abatement of the tax on motor cars the property of officers of the Army Motor Reserve, having in view the fact that these cars are employed on the public service and on which the Government possesses a lien at the time of national emergency, and an abatement of the 3d. per gallon tax on petrol consumed by the cars of Army Motor Reserve officers when on duty, considering the fact that, the allowances to these officers are based on a scale commensurate with the price of petrol before the new tax came into existence?
§ Mr. LLOYD-GEORGEI do not as at present advised see my way to grant the abatements suggested by the hon. and gallant Member.
