Purchase Tax

HC Deb 06 March 1951 vol 485 c30W

60. Mr. P. Wells

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will remove the Purchase Tax from bird scarers.

Mr. Gaitskell

As far as I am aware ordinary types of bird scarers are not chargeable to Purchase Tax. But if my hon. Friend will let me know what he has in mind I will look into the matter.

65. Mr. Redmayne

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the estimated loss of revenue in the financial year 1950–51 arising from the transfer of goods from purchase tax groups to a utility range.

Mr. Gaitskell

It is not possible to make such an estimate.
