§ Mr. Redmondasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in his review of purchase tax, he will take into account the difficulties following the change-over to decimal coinage experienced by manufacturers of goods now paying purchase tax at the current rates.
§ Mr. HigginsI am not aware of any special difficulties. A notice explaining how decimalisation will affect purchase tax accounting was issued by the Customs and Excise in September.
