HC Deb 04 May 1971 vol 816 c321W
Mr. Harper

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will, in view of his Budget proposal to introduce a value-added tax, discontinue purchase tax on ice cream, soft drinks, confectionery, chocolate biscuits, potato crisps, packaged nuts and pet foods; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Higgins

I have nothing to add to my right hon. Friend's Budget Statement.
