HC Deb 12 November 1959 vol 613 c583
38. Mr. John Hall

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the total revenue he now estimates he will receive from Purchase Tax on furniture during the present financial year.

Mr. Barber

The Budget estimate included about £8¾ million in respect of Purchase Tax on furniture.

Mr. Hall

Would not my hon. Friend agree that it is time that this tax on furniture was removed?

Mr. Barber

I am sure that my hon. Friend will realise that that is not a question with which I can deal now.
