§ Viscount CURZONasked the Minister of Transport how many official motor vehicles have been exempted from the payment of taxation, differentiating between light and heavy vehicles, and stating, if possible, what extra sum would accrue if all exemption from taxation were withdrawn; and whether any estimate can be given of the approximate annual mileage covered by these vehicles?
§ Sir E. GEDDESThe particulars asked for are not at present available, but I have caused returns to be called for from all registration authorities. I am sending a copy of the form of return to my 1551W Noble Friend, who will, perhaps, put down a further question on the subject in about a fortnight's time.
