HC Deb 23 October 1952 vol 505 c137W
81. Mr. Albu

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the amount collected in the last financial year from the Purchase Tax on all furniture and domestic furniture, respectively.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

It is estimated that £5 million was collected on all furniture, including garden furniture, in the financial year 1951–52. It is not possible to say how much of this was collected on domestic furniture.
