HC Deb 12 November 1957 vol 577 c758
21. Mr. John Hall

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he has considered the representations made to him by the British Furniture Manufacturers Federated Associations on the subject of the anomalies in definitions of furniture; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

I have no statement to make on this subject at present.

Mr. Hall

Is my right hon. Friend aware that his reply will be very disappointing indeed, especially in view of the statement made by the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, in the debate on 28th May, that he would look at these anomalies with a view to trying to dispel them in the near future?
