Motor Vehicle Licence Duty

HC Deb 21 October 1969 vol 788 cc186-7W

Mr. Dickens

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer by how much per gallon would the duty on petrol require to be increased to offset the loss in revenue of the abolition of the motor vehicle licence duty, taking into account the consequential financial savings in the cost of collecting the duty.

Mr. Taverne

At least 1s. 7d. a gallon.
