§ Mr. Houseasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the £225,000 received during the last financial year from Purchase Tax on wallpaper in fact applies to display, book-end and boxpaper which 1259W can be used as wallpaper and when sold as wall covering carried the Purchase Tax, particularly seeing that the wallpaper industry was closed down during the war.
§ Mr. DaltonThe figure quoted is the amount of tax attributed to sales of wallpaper during the last financial year. No information is available as to the extent to which this amount represents sales of paper which could also be described as display, book-end or boxpaper on the one hand or to sales from old stock on the other.
