§ Mr. GINNELLasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in view of his promise that medical practitioners should get rebate of duty paid by them on motor spirit used in the practice of their profession, and the provisions of the Finance Act to that effect, if he will explain why medical practitioners in Ireland, whose vouchers for the two last financial years show the payment of duty by them, have got rebate in respect of the second year, but have been refused in respect of the first on precisely the same evidence, the facts not being questioned; what authority there is for this refusal; and whether he will have the overdue rebate paid forthwith?
§ Mr. ILLINGWORTHThe practice of the Board of Customs and Excise was fully explained in an answer given to the hen. Member by my right hon. Friend the Secretary to the Treasury on 15th March. If the hon. Member will give me particulars of any case in which he thinks that rebate has been improperly withheld, I will have inquiry made.
