HC Deb 20 February 1940 vol 357 cc1170-1W
Mr. J. Wilmot

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, having regard to the effect on the revenue and hardship caused to the trade, he will consider a reduction in the horse-power tax on motor vehicles in the forthcoming Budget?

Sir J. Simon

While I cannot anticipate my Budget statement, I would refer to the reply given on 14th December to my hon. Friend the Member for Kidderminster (Sir J. Wardlaw-Milne).
