HC Deb 02 April 1976 vol 908 c591W
Mr. Sedgemore

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will provide details of the reduction in use of private transport resulting from the recent increases in excise duty on petrol.

Mr. Marks

As changes in the use of private motoring will result from a number of factors, it is not possible to isolate the effect of the increase in VAT on petrol from November 1974.
