HC Deb 08 December 1975 vol 902 cc66-7W
Mr. Jim Spicer

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what recent representations have been made to him about the effect of the 25 per cent. rate of VAT on both the boat builders' and the caravan builders' behalf.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

I have received a number of representations from individual boat builders and caravan manufacturers and some detailed statistics from the Ship and Boat Builders' National Federation. These will be taken into account along with other relevant information in our review of the effects of the 25 per cent. rate of value added tax.
