PASSENGER VEHICLE operatore nave suffered another severe setback in the increase of the price of petrol by id., in addition to the proposed raising of the tax on oil fuel from id. to 8cr. The higher cost of petrol will increase Edinburgh Corporation's commitments by about £4,500 and the new oil duty by about £4,000. Glasgow will have to face an additional expenditure of £42,500, of which the oil tax will be responsible for £30,000 and the increased price of petrol: £12,500.
Burnley, Colne and Nelson Joint Transport Committee will, as a result of the higher price of petrol, have to find another £2,000 per annum, whilst an increase of £10,000 a year in the oilfuel account is anticipated. Taking into consideration the reduction in the licence duty on off-engined vehicles, the higher fuel tax will cost Barrow Corporation a further £1,684-a year.
Last week, Newcastle Corporation put into service the first of its 10 new Daimler buses with Armstrong-Saurer oil engines, and it is expected that the higher fuel tax will increase the total operating costs of these vehicles by about £2,000 a year FURTHER LIMITS ON BUS OPERATION IN LANCASHIRE?
