HC Deb 25 November 1971 vol 826 c449W
Mr. Milne

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what representations he has received from the Football Association and other sporting bodies concerning the application of Value-Added tax to admission charges to sporting events; and what reply he has given.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

I have received representations from the F.A. and certain other bodies concerned with the main spectator sports, expressing apprehension about the possible application of V.A.T. to admission charges. The Government will study their views together with those of the Sports Council.
