Mr. A. Reed
asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is prepared to remit the Purchase Tax in respect of wedding rings of the type prescribed in the Wedding Rings Order (S.R. and O., No. 654, of 1943), when the wedding ring is purchased by a member of His Majesty's Forces?
Sir K. Wood
No, Sir. It is an essential principle of the Purchase Tax that there should be no classes of consumers privileged to buy chargeable goods free of tax.
