§ Mr. MacLarenasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will reduce or abolish the fee of 5s. demanded annually from the users of invalid carriages as this imposes hardship on many who are incapacitated and have no other means of conveyance?
§ Sir K. WoodThe duty of 5s. a year previously payable on mechanically propelled invalid carriages was repealed in 1936. Drivers of such vehicles, in common with the drivers of other mechanically propelled vehicles, must hold a driving licence, on which a fee of 5s. is payable. I could not support in present circumstances a change in the law in this respect.
