§ 61. Captain Ryderasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a further statement as to whether Purchase Tax should be chargeable on model aircraft accessories or not under his regulations.
§ Mr. JayModel aircraft accessories are regarded as chargeable with Purchase Tax under Group 20 (a) of the Purchase Tax Schedule.
§ Captain RyderIs it not a fact that half the industry have defied this ruling and that the case is now sub judice and has been for over a year? Could this matter be accelerated?
§ Mr. JayI believe that the case is now before the courts, and I fully agree that the sooner it is settled the better.
