§ Lord Kennetasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether, as stated by the Minister on January 31st (col. 1410), domestic heating is the only thing on which VAT is "reduced".
§ Lord HenleyThe 8 per cent. reduced rate of VAT is unique and applies exclusively to supplies of domestic fuel and power. The Government have no plans to apply this reduced rate to anything other than domestic fuel and power.
