§ 34. Mr. Hannahasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that the comprehensive taxes on medicine proposed by the Select Committee on Medicine Stamp Duties would affect the poorer classes of the community while hardly touching the rich, and that the smaller chemists are objecting; and whether he will give due weight to these considerations before he reaches a decision as to the adoption of the recommended duties?
§ Lieut.-Colonel ColvilleI would assure my hon. Friend that due weight will be given to all relevant considerations before my right hon. Friend reaches a decision on the committee's report.
§ Mr. DuncanWill my right hon. and gallant Friend be prepared to receive representations from the Pharmaceutical Society on this matter?
§ Lieut.-Colonel ColvilleI think that representations have already been received.
