HC Deb 13 May 1958 vol 588 c11W
17. Mr. Hamilton

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT a list of goods which are used in the major industries for safety purposes and which are currently subject to Purchase Tax.

Mr. Amory

Apart from the boots and helmets for which I recently restored the specific exemption, Purchase Tax is applicable to all goods falling within the appropriate group classifications whether or not they can be regarded as having protective character.
