HC Deb 21 July 1997 vol 298 cc440-1W
Mr. Alan Simpson

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will incorporate within this review of the effects of a reduced rate of VAT for energy efficiency materials all correspondence received by his Department over the past three years, pertaining to this matter. [9194]

Dawn Primarolo

The Chancellor announced in the Budget an extension of the review on the revenue effect of a reduced rate of VAT on energy-saving materials. We want to be sure that we identify effective and efficient ways of helping those on low incomes keep warm. Customs and Excise is leading the review and is taking full account of representations previously received.
