HC Deb 06 April 1967 vol 744 c78W
Mr. Stodart

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why the exporter of plastic flowers receives a rebate of three per cent., whereas the export rebate given to the grower of live plants is only 2¼ per cent.

Mr. MacDermot

The rates reflect the different percentages of indirect taxation in the overall costs of the two industry groups which produce plastic flowers and live plants respectively.
