HC Deb 16 December 1953 vol 522 c69W
107. Mr. J. T. Hall

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he is aware of the extra burden placed upon local authorities through the operation of the transport levy; and if he will take steps to minimise this charge upon the rates.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Parliament decided to impose this levy only after full discussion of its implications for local authorities. I have no power to modify its incidence.
