10. Air Commodore Harveyasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much Purchase Tax was received from cotton textiles during the year 1952–53, compared with the year 1951–52.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterWhile precise figures for this particular class of textile are not separately available, I estimate that less than one-half of the total receipts from textiles of £78½ million in 1951–52 and about £45 million in 1952–53 related to cotton textiles.
