Purchase Tax (Gas Fires)

HC Deb 28 January 1964 vol 688 c29W

38. Mr. H. Hynd

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will remove Purchase Tax from gas fires, in view of the fact that the Government are encouraging the use of gas fires for heating purposes.

Mr. Maurice Macmillan

I cannot at this time say anything about my right hon. Friend's intentions in regard to taxation.
