HC Deb 06 June 1957 vol 571 c141W
Sir. A. Bossom

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he will amend the present regulations whereby tractors, when fitted with transport boxes, are not allowed to use the public roads under the £2 agricultural licence.

Mr. Watkinson

The use of agricultural tractors taxed at the £2 rate is governed by Section 4 of the Vehicles (Excise) Act, 1949, as amended by subsequent Finance Acts, and any change would require legislation. 1 have my hon. Friend's point under examination at the present time.
