HC Deb 19 March 1946 vol 420 c1686
54. Mr. Marples

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what are the supplies connected with the fitments for houses which are still subject to Purchase Tax.

Mr. Dalton

Since the answer is detailed, I will, with permission, circulate it in the Official Report.

Following is the answer:

Of the fitments recommended to housing authorities by the Ministries of Health and Works in the Housing Manual, 1944, the following are liable to Purchase Tax:

Draining boards and kitchen work tops;

Cupboards, drawers and dressers;

Plate racks and ceiling airers If the hon. Member has in mind any other fitments, not mentioned in the Manual, perhaps he will communicate with me.
