HC Deb 03 July 1980 vol 987 c713W
Mr. Freud

asked the Minister of Transport what representations he has had in respect of licence fees for caravans; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

It is periodically suggested that caravans should be liable for vehicle excise duty. As I indicated in my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Welwyn and Hatfield (Mr. Murphy) on 18 June, the additional administrative costs involved would not be justified by the revenue gains.—[Vol. 986, c. 578.]
