HC Deb 13 November 1952 vol 507 c71W
53. Mr. Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if his attention has been drawn to the desire of motor car manufacturers to have Purchase Tax reduced on motor cars to enable the manufacturers to maintain and improve the home and export markets, and to prevent the growth of unemployment in this industry; and whether he will make a statement of his proposals in this matter.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

I am well aware of this question, but I am not at present prepared to make any statement.
