Bedridden People's Radio Sets (Tax)

HC Deb 13 July 1954 vol 530 c11W

Wing Commander Bullus

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will allow a remission of Purchase Tax on radio sets purchased by a recognised national society for the use of bedridden people.

Mr. R. A. Butler

No. I regret that I cannot authorise any further exception from the principle that relief from Purchase Tax cannot be provided for particular users of chargeable goods.
