Food Hygiene Equipment (Tax)

HC Deb 14 December 1954 vol 535 cc127-8W

126. Mr. Willey

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, to encourage the promotion of food hygiene, he will remove or reduce Purchase Tax on utensils and equipment necessary to ensure the preparation of clean food.

Mr. H. Brooke

My right hon. Friend will bear this point in mind when he next reviews the tax.
