§ 49. Mr. Dalyellasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will provide a temporary stimulus by immediately removing the 50 per cent. Purchase Tax on radio and television equipment, in view of the uncertain 214W expectations throughout the industry, especially among component manufacturers in areas of unemployment such as West Lothian, until new programmes become available in April 1964.
§ Mr. du CannMy right hon. Friend will bear this suggestion in mind; but I cannot anticipate his tax decisions.
