HC Deb 18 February 1937 vol 320 c1376W
Major Procter

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will institute an inquiry into the relation of industrial overhead charges in this country to transport costs by rail and road, and the extent to which the cost of production of commodities for export is increased by the present taxation levied upon commercial road-transport vehicles and the fuel they consume?

Mr. Runciman

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the reply given on the 16th February to a similar question by the hon. Member for Stourbridge (Mr. Morgan).
