HC Deb 20 December 1955 vol 547 cc285-6W
71. Mr. Swingler

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will meet a deputation representing the pottery industry to discuss the effects of Purchase Tax on pottery exports, and related matters.

Mr. Low

My right hon. Friend has already informed the British Pottery Manufacturers' Federation that he is always ready to see the pottery industry about its troubles and difficulties but not about Purchase Tax, which is a matter for my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
