HC Deb 23 March 1965 vol 709 c57W
111. Mr. Victor Yates

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he has considered the communication sent to him by the hon. Member for Ladywood concerning the hardship caused to cripples, and elderly sufferers from arthritis and paralysis, resulting from the Purchase Tax on invalid aids, such as bath rails and seat aids; and if he will now remove the Purchase Tax from these articles.

Mr. MacDermot

As I have informed my hon. Friend in my reply to his letter, I am reviewing the question which he has raised.
