HC Deb 15 January 2002 vol 378 c253W
Rev. Martin Smyth

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what plans he has to change VAT on hearing aid audiologist treatment. [25971]

Mr. Boateng

Customs and Excise are consulting businesses and bodies such as the Royal National Institute for the Deaf to assess whether recent legal rulings have implications for the VAT treatment of audiologist's services provided to a patient at the same time as a hearing aid.
