HC Deb 04 February 1947 vol 432 cc1567-8
46. Sir Robert Young

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider the position of those receiving an allowance for maintenance of dependent relatives in view of the increase of pensions given to widows to 26s. per week so that the full relief of £50 will not be impaired.

52 and 58. Mr. J. E. Haire

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) whether he will exempt all craft used for pleasure purposes, such as dinghies and canoes, from Purchase Tax;

(2) whether, in view of the fact that caravans are now exempt from Purchase Tax, he will extend such exemption to other camping equipment.

53. Colonel Gomme-Duncan

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will now remove or reduce the rate of Purchase Tax on damask goods in order to bring them into line with recent adjustments for utility goods of a similar kind.

Mr. Dalton

My hon. Friends will not expect me to anticipate my Budget Statement.
