HC Deb 14 March 1967 vol 743 c43W
68. Sir J. Langford-Holt

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in view of the high labour costs in the laundry industry compared with turnover and as the law of diminishing returns is beginning to apply, whether he will reconsider the imposition of the Selective Employment Tax on laundries.

Mr. Diamond

No; this is a tax payable by service industries in general.
