HC Deb 25 May 2000 vol 350 c586W 586W

§ Mr. Greenway
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will estimate the annual cost of(a) a 10 per cent., (b) an 8 per cent. and (c) a 5 per cent. rate of VAT on restoration work for listed buildings. [123723]

§ Dawn Primarolo
Customs and Excise do not have estimates of the costs of reducing the VAT rate on restoration work for listed buildings because reliable estimates of amounts of VAT which have been paid in the past on such work are not available.
