HC Deb 17 March 1970 vol 798 cc84-5W
47. Mr. John Wells

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is aware of the decline in acreage of blackcurrants, and that this decline is closely parallel with the increases in purchase tax on some blackcurrant juices; and if he will review both the level and the incidence of that tax.

Mr. Taverne

My right hon. Friend has received representations on this subject and will bear them in mind in his review of taxation before the Budget.
