HC Deb 18 January 1990 vol 165 cc342-3W
29. Mr. David Evans

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what plans he has to extend the value added tax unit for small businesses.

Mr. Ryder

My right hon. Friend has no plans at present to extend the headquarters unit in Customs and Excise dealing directly with VAT policy for small businesses. It continues to seek ways of minimising the effects of VAT on small businesses.
