HC Deb 27 October 1947 vol 443 c34W
Sir W. Darling

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what estimate has been formed of the loss in revenue falling on the Treasury by the abolition of the basic petrol allowance.

Mr. Dalton

The loss of Oil Duty will be about £9 million in a full year. The loss of Motor Vehicle Duty will depend on the number of cars laid up, but might be about £10 million in a full year.
