§ Major Carverasked the Minister of Agriculture how many articles needed for agriculture will be exempted from the operation of the Purchase Tax; and whether he can give details?
Mr. HudsonOn reference to the Purchase Tax Bill my hon. and gallant Friend will see that the needs of the agricultural industry are well covered by the classes of exempted goods set out in the Fourth Schedule. Provision is made in Clause 17 (3) for the issue of lists more particularly defining the goods to be taken as falling within the exempted classes. Details are at present under consideration.
