HC Deb 19 December 1967 vol 756 c365W
Mr. Peter Walker

asked the Minister of Power what is his estimate of the cost to both the National Coal Board and the coal distributors of the proposed new tax applied to lorries of three tons and above.

Mr. Freeson:

For the distributive trade, the Coal Merchants' Federation have estimated that the cost may be about ½d. per hundredweight sack. For the National Coal Board, I would refer the hon. Member to the Answer I gave him on 6th December.—[Vol. 755, c.341]
