§ 61. Mr. Coldrickasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he will take steps to exempt hearses from the levy which is now being paid in respect of goods vehicles.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydNo. It was made clear during the debates on the Transport Bill that the only practicable way to collect the levy was to relate it to the categories of vehicles established for vehicle taxation. The principle was incorporated in the Transport Act, 1953, and I have no power to alter it.
