§ Mr. VINCENT KENNEDYasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the Petrol Tax applies to the motor spirit known as benzole, and can he say what quantity of benzole is used in the United Kingdom annually, and its average price per gallon as compared with first-grade petrol?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGENo duty is at present levied on the spirit referred to, which is largely and chiefly used for general industrial purposes. The question of its taxation, if and when it comes to be ordinarily and generally used for supplying motor power to vehicles, will not be lost sight of. I have no information on the other points raised by the question.
