HC Deb 30 April 1958 vol 587 c39W
Mr. T. Brown

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why he has decided to place a Purchase Tax upon miners' safety helmets and miners' safety boots, in view of the fact that these are worn to reduce the number of accidents in the mines of this country.

Mr. Simon

I would refer the hon. Member to the statement made by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer on 29th April.
