§ Mr. HACKINGasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, seeing that he has received advice from representatives of the Dominions at the Imperial Conference to the effect that the horsepower tax on motor vehicles had not prejudiced the British motor export trade, he is willing to receive a deputation of British motor manufacturers so as to ascertain their views on the matter as well?
§ Mr. P. SNOWDENThe Government have always been willing to consider altering the formula governing the taxation of private motor cars, provided that the alteration did not lead to a loss of revenue, and was agreed among the interests concerned. Unless there are any proposals, consistent with these conditions, which manufacturers now wish to bring forward, I do not think any useful purpose would be served by a deputation.
