HC Deb 01 April 1953 vol 513 c158W
Mrs. Braddock

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will endeavour to arrange for a percentage increase in the D level of Purchase Tax for outsize garments.

Mr. R. A. Butler

As the hon. Member is aware, we examined this possibility very thoroughly last year but were forced to the conclusion that any such relief was impracticable.
