HC Deb 01 April 1965 vol 709 c280W
Mr. Marten

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make the necessary provision in his Finance Bill for all tolls paid by bona-fide travellers when crossing ancient toll bridges to be an allowance for tax purposes.

Mr. MacDermot

I cannot anticipate my right hon. Friend's Budget statement.

Mr. Marten

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make the necessary provisions in his Finance Bill to relieve the users of ancient toll bridges of paying tolls.

Mr. MacDermot

No. It would not be appropriate to include provisions to abolish bridge tolls in a Finance Bill.
