§ Mr. Moneyasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether in his forthcoming Budget he will remove the distinction whereby dog and cat condition powders are liable to 22 per cent. purchase tax if sold in biscuit form but not so liable if sold as powders or tablets.
§ Mr. Patrick JenkinThe purchase tax schedule distinguishes between pet foods, which are taxable and certain medical preparations for animals, which are exempt. If my hon. Friend will let me have particulars of any case where this gives rise to difficulty I will look into it.
