§ 6. Mr. Jayasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the total revenue from Purchase Tax on all textiles in 1954–55.
§ Mr. R. A. ButlerI would refer the right hon. Member to the reply my hon. Friend gave to the right hon. Member for Huyton (Mr. H. Wilson) on 19th April last.
§ Mr. JayWould it be true to say that out of a total of about £40 million raised in relation to textiles, the Chancellor has remitted only between £2 million and £3 million a year?
§ Mr. ButlerThe right hon. Gentleman's calculations are, as usual, approximately correct.
