HC Deb 29 October 1953 vol 518 c400W
Mr. Chetwynd

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will exempt from purchase tax electric tubular heaters for use in churches and Sunday schools.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

No. For practical reasons, it has been a general principle, since the inception of Purchase Tax, that articles cannot be exempted by reference to the particular use to which they may be put.
