HC Deb 19 February 1953 vol 511 c1434
29. Sir W. Smithers

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he has considered details which have been sent to him from the Kent County Playing Fields Association as to the pressing need for abolishing or reducing Purchase Tax on essential articles of sports equipment: and whether he will bear this in mind when framing his Budget proposals.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

While I cannot, of course, anticipate my right hon. Friend's Budget statement, my right hon. Friend will bear these representations in mind.
