HC Deb 06 February 1941 vol 368 c1106W
Mr. Groves

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his attention has been called to the hardships imposed upon victims of enemy action who, when they are compelled to purchase new furniture or other articles for domestic use, are subject to the Purchase Tax; and whether he will consider the exemption from such tax of these already badly hit people?

Sir K. Wood

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer given to a similar Question put by the hon. Member for Lambeth (Mr. G. Strauss) on 21st January.
