HC Deb 05 July 1973 vol 859 c201W
Mr. Leslie Huckfield

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will make a statement about his Department's proposals for using the "fourth power" formula for calculating heavy goods vehicle taxes.

Mr. Peyton

The EEC Commission and member States are considering whether taxes on goods vehicles should be adjusted on common principles. The fourth power formula will be taken into account.
