§ 7. Mr. W. R. D. Perkinsasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the yield from the Purchase Tax on white walking sticks used by the blind during the last financial year.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterI regret that the information is not available.
§ Mr. PerkinsIs my hon. Friend aware that the yield must be trivial, and would he reconsider the whole question of this tax before the next Budget?
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterSo far as the first part of the supplementary question is concerned, I do not dissent from what my hon. Friend has said. The second part of the question is another matter.
