Wireless and Television Sets (Purchase Tax)

HC Deb 20 November 1962 vol 667 c106W

Mr. Dempsey

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will extend the Purchase Tax reduction applicable to motor cars to radio and television sets with a view to creating more opportunities for employment, especially in the development areas.

Mr. Maudling

No. I gave the House on 5th November my reasons for the singling out of the motor car industry.
