Selective Employment Tax

HC Deb 21 October 1968 vol 770 cc196-7W

26. Mr. Fletcher-Cooke

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity whether she will seek to exempt motoring organisations from Selective Employment Tax.

Mr. Hattersley

No.

48. Mr. G. Campbell

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity whether she will end the anomaly in the refunding of Selective Employment Tax to the fishing industry whereby a fish salesman who owns a share in a fishing boat can qualify for refunds for his employees working on shore, whereas a fish salesman who does not own such a share cannot qualify.

Mr. Hattersley

No. I do not accept that there is an anomaly.
