§ Mr. R. Morganasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he is yet in a position to state whether and, if so, to what extent the annual yield of the Purchase Tax on medicines, including proprietary medicines, exceeds £2,500,000 per annum?
§ Captain CrookshankPrecise figures of the yield of the Purchase Tax on prepared drugs and medicines are not available, but I think it possible that the yield for a full financial year will be of the order of £3,000,000.
