HC Deb 23 March 1936 vol 310 c891W
Sir W. EDGE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the importance of road transport in promoting efficiency of national defence, he will encourage its development by remitting, at an early date, part of the tax at present imposed upon petrol?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I have noted my hon. Friend's suggestion, but I cannot anticipate my Budget statement.
