HC Deb 19 January 1954 vol 522 cc151-2W
71. Mr. Blackburn

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if, in order to clarify doubts among traders, he will state whether the recent Purchase Tax concessions were made in substitution for the conventional annual review of Purchase Tax in the Budget statement.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

I am sending the hon. Member a copy of the statement issued by my right hon. Friend in connection with these tax changes, to which I have at present nothing to add.
