HC Deb 22 August 1945 vol 413 c645W
Sir W. Smithers

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will introduce legislation to amend the incidence of motor taxation, so that a rate of £5 per car plus a petrol tax shall be substituted for the existing horse power taxation based on the bore and stroke of cylinders.

Mr. Dalton

I am reviewing the future of motor taxation, and hope to make a statement shortly after the House reassembles.
