Recent appearances

• Oral Answers to Questions — Safeguarding of Industries Act.: Motor Chassis (Import Duty). 30 May 1922

  54. asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether any import duty is still being imposed on motor chassis to be used for taximeter cabs, chars-a-bane, hotel omnibuses, and funeral hearses; and, if so, why?

• Oral Answers to Questions — Safeguarding of Industries Act.: Motor Chassis (Import Duty). 30 May 1922

  Is it not a fact that the right hon. Gentleman stated that there is no charge for industrial motor cars, but that the duty is placed solely on touring cars, and, if so, do taxicabs come under the category of touring cars or industrial vehicles, and if the latter, why do they pay the 33⅓ per cent. duty?
