HC Deb 18 July 1968 vol 768 c267W
Mr. Harry Howarth

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will seek to exempt from Purchase Tax all articles which are specially designed for use with the interests of road safety in mind.

Mr. Harold Lever

No. The tax applies to broad categories of goods and it would be impracticable to single out articles designed with the interests of safety in mind.
