HC Deb 27 October 1953 vol 518 c339W
55. Mr. Mulley

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give further consideration to a reduction in the rates of Purchase Tax on silverware and cutlery, in view of the difficulties experienced by these industries.

Mr. R. A. Butler

Representations on this subject have recently been made to me by the trade and they will certainly receive careful consideration.
