A DISCUSSION as to whether pur
chase tax should be applied to utility vehicles took place in the House of Commons last week, when the Purchase Tax Order (Shooting Brakes, etc.) was moved by the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, Mr. Glenvil Hall.
The purpose of the Order is to place purchase tax on vehicles which have. behind the driver, roofed-in space and side windows and can seat passengers Mr. Hall explained that to exempt some goods vehicles from this measure it might be necessary to make subsequent Orders for purposes of definition.
Despite the opposition of Conservative members, who stressed the bad effect that the Order would have on farmers, it was approved.
