HC Deb 27 April 1966 vol 727 c36W
Mr. Mathew

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will take steps, by legislation or otherwise, to see that Purchase Tax already paid to the revenue is repaid in all cases where the retailer looses goods through no fault of his own, including cases of theft where underwriters will not accept the risk, such as on certain types of electrical goods.

Mr. Diamond

No.
