HC Deb 13 February 1947 vol 433 c79W

57. Mr. N. Noel-Baker

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the increase in the price of timber and the consequent further expense to the housewife in buying articles of domestic woodware, he will now consider reducing the Purchase Tax on such articles.
