§ 85. Mr. Bottomleyasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will consider reducing the Purchase Tax on children's reins, which assist in controlling young children in busy shopping areas and thereby make a contribution to road safety.
§ Mr. R. A. ButlerThe rate of Purchase Tax on children's reins was reduced to 25 per cent. in this year's Finance Act. I regret that I cannot contemplate any further relief at present.
