HC Deb 19 February 1953 vol 511 c1432
22. Mr. E. Johnson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is yet able to make a statement regarding the findings of the committee, under the chairmanship of Mr. Frederick Grant, Q.C., in regard to the rules for Purchase Tax valuation, with particular regard to the system whereby the cost of postage is added to the value of the article purchased by a retailer for the purpose of calculating Purchase Tax.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

I am afraid not, Sir.

Mr. Johnson

May I ask my hon. Friend if he can give any indication as to when the findings of this committee are likely to be available?

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

I am afraid I cannot give my hon. Friend any definite date, but I share the hope implied in his supplementary question that it will not be long.
