HC Deb 06 November 1945 vol 415 c1247W
Colonel Crosthwaite-Eyre

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider enabling industrial concerns to use the whole or part of their Excess Profits Tax cushion for the purpose of purchasing surplus Government machine tools, etc., in order to enable industry speedily to convert itself from war to peace time production.

Mr. Dalton

This would be a proper use of the E.P.T. refunds.
