HC Deb 19 October 1915 vol 74 cc1625-6W
Mr. DU CROS

asked whether it is intended to apply the Import Tax to component parts of motor and other tyres, such as steel non-skidding studs and valves?

Mr. McKENNA

It is not intended to apply the Import Tax to component parts of motor and other tyres in any case where it is shown to the satisfaction of the Commissioners that the articles are not otherwise accessories or component parts of motor cars.

Mr. DU CROS

also asked whether it is intended that duty shall be levied on timber imports in the form of partly finished wooden spokes for motor wheels?

Mr. McKENNA

If the partly-finished wooden spokes are for use on taxable motor cars they are liable to duty as component parts of a motor car.
