§ Sir G. STRICKLANDasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, with reference to the proposed increase of taxation on heavy motor vehicles, he will consider favourably an exemption in favour of ambulance wagons and such like motors kept by charitable bodies for 698W public purposes that relieves the taxpayer from part of the cost of such services?
§ Colonel ASHLEYI have been asked to answer this question. Ambulances are at present exempt from taxation under Section 13 (4) of the Finance Act, 1920, and it is not proposed to impose any tax in respect of these vehicles.
