HC Deb 09 May 1950 vol 475 c33W
Mr. Steward

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make arrangements for the refund to motor-car dealers of half of the Purchase Tax paid at the 66¾ per cent. rate on motor-cars in stock in respect of which Purchase Tax has since been reduced.

Sir S. Cripps

No. The law provides for no such rebate. Furthermore, it is understood that the motor trade themselves will deal with this matter.
