HC Deb 24 January 1957 vol 563 c69W
Captain Kerby

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, in view of the need to conserve fuel, he will take immediate action to encourage greater efficiency in the home by removing, or substantially reducing, the Purchase Tax on cooking utensils.

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

No. I do not think that any fuel savings which might result would justify the loss of revenue.
