HC Deb 01 February 1951 vol 483 c130W
66. Mr. G. R. Howard

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will, having regard to the peculiar conditions of service of those concerned, consider allowing tax-free tobacco and cigarettes to those members of the Trinity House Service who are stationed on lightships and also on lighthouses off the coasts of the United Kingdom.

Mr. Jay

No. Whilst I appreciate the onerous nature of the work in this important Service, I fear I cannot single out these men on this account for a special Revenue concession.
