PETROL TAX CLAIM
‘None More Amazing’ (N.Z. Press Association) • WELLINGTON, July 23. “Of all the extraordinary claims made by the National Party from time to time, surely none is more atnazing than the one made by the farmer Minister of Agriculture, Mr S. Smith, at the National Party conference yesterday that the present Minister of Finance had taken 4d off the petrol tax," said the Leader of the Opposition (Mr Nordmeyer) today. “The facts are that of the Is tax imposed in 1958, lOd had been removed before the Labour Government went out of office. The 2d that remained is still imposed, notwithstanding the fact that the present Government has introduced three Budgets, in any one of which it could have removed this tax,” said Mr Nordmeyer.
