asked the Minister for Local Government whether he is aware that tractor owners in the Tralee area who bring turf for sale by tractor once a week are being summoned and forced to pay £31 10s. tax in place of £8 on their tractors; and whether in view of the fact that these tractor owners use tractors for this purpose only once a week he will ensure that they will be permitted to continue paying tax at the £8 rate.

I am not so aware. The minimum road tax payable on a tractor used for haulage of turf for reward is £31. 10.0. per annum. The frequency of such haulage has no bearing on the rate of duty payable.
