Motor Cars (Government Departments)

HC Deb 03 November 1949 vol 469 c69W

Mr. F. Noel-Baker

asked the Minister of Supply what arrangements exist for Government Departments to obtain a refund of Purchase Tax paid on cars.

Mr. G. R. Strauss

None. There would be no purpose in making any such arrangement, as Purchase Tax is not paid on cars bought by the Ministry of Supply for Government Departments.
