§ 4. Mr. Blakerasked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity if she will take the necessary steps to enable refunds of selective employment tax to be made to processors of textile, rubber and plastic waste.
§ The Minister of State, Department of Employment and Productivity (Mr. Edmund Dell)Professor Reddaway deals with this matter in his report on the effects of the selective employment tax on the distributive trades. The report is at present under consideration.
