§ 65. Mr. Lewisasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that an old-age pensioner or other poor person who is having his rent increased by his landlord needs to purchase the Government's guide "The Rent Act and You," price 6d., and in most cases needs to purchase Form G; whether he is aware that the purchaser is thereby having to pay the Purchase Tax on these items; and whether he will therefore make these items available to old-age pensioners free of Purchase Tax.
§ Mr. PowellThe booklet is not subject to Purchase Tax. The element of Purchase Tax in the retail price of Form G is not likely to exceed three halfpence.
