HC Deb 02 December 1970 vol 807 c420W
Dr. Stuttaford

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will take steps to remove the purchase tax at present charged on the Medic-Alert brass bracelet worn by patients where the wrong first aid treatment may prove fatal.

Mr. Higgins

I am sorry but it is not possible to treat this identity bracelet differently from others for the purposes of the tax.
