Disabled Persons (Increased Petrol Duty)

HC Deb 24 November 1964 vol 702 cc164-5W

Captain Orr

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his proposals for relief from the effects of his increased petrol tax will extend to the users of motor vehicles specially designed for the disabled.

Mr. MacDermot

No. The relief to which my right hon. Friend referred in his Budget speech, and on which my right hon. Friend the Minister of Transport is having discussions with the passenger transport organisations, is confined to stage bus services.
