HC Deb 08 March 1965 vol 708 cc32-3W
Mr. Rowland

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if it would be administratively possible to distinguish between tobacco used in the manufacture of cigarettes and tobacco used for the manufacture of cigars and pipe tobacco with a view to levying different rates of tax on the two types of tobacco.

Mr. MacDermot

There is no sufficiently clear line of distinction between these two types of tobacco to provide a basis for differential taxation.
