§ Sir R. Taskerasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why Purchase Tax of 33⅓per cent. is charged upon substitutes for glass in connection with first-aid repairs in view of the need to encourage the use of such substitutes and thus eliminate the damage from glass; and will he reconsider this, as the additional tax of 33⅓ per cent. on these substitutes makes these materials, in many cases, more expensive than glass?
§ Sir K. WoodI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for South Croydon (Sir H. Williams) on 12th November last.
