§ 85. Mr. Errollasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT the reasons for exempting domestic type water softeners, which have been slightly modified for industrial requirements, from Purchase Tax when industrial gas water heaters in a similar tax group are not so exempted.
§ Mr. Glenvil HallThe idea that domestic water softeners are exempt from taxation if modified for industrial use is due to a misunderstanding which is now being corrected.
