HC Deb 10 November 1969 vol 791 c32W
Mr. Tudor Watkins

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the present rate of purchase tax on new harps and new pianos; and whether he will remove the tax on harps no later than in his next Budget.

Mr. Taverne

Thirty-six and two-thirds per cent. and exempt respectively. I cannot anticipate my right hon. Friend's Budget statement.
