HC Deb 20 November 1951 vol 494 c23W
75. Mrs. Mann

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will consider remission of Purchase Tax on television sets, to those areas where delay of installation of television service prevented purchase of untaxed sets.

Mr. R. A. Butler

I can understand the feelings of people who live in such areas, but I am afraid that it is not practicable to vary the Purchase Tax on a regional basis.
