HC Deb 17 April 1951 vol 486 c147W
49. Mr. Erroll

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what representations he has received in favour of the intention contained in Purchase Tax No. 4 Order, to increase the duty on home permanent waving outfits from 33⅓ per cent. to 100 per cent.

Mr. Gaitskell

I have received representations to that effect from manufacturers and wholesalers of hair-dressing goods and beauty preparations. They do not see why the rate of tax on home permanent waving outfits should differ from that on other articles sold to the public for personal beauty treatment.
