HC Deb 26 November 1971 vol 826 c475W
Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what representations he has received on exempting from a value-added tax system equipment designed for and used by the disabled that is now either exempt from, or not subject to, purchase tax; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Higgins

Representations have been received from a number of interested organisations. My right hon. Friend is not yet ready to announce detailed decisions on the coverage of the value added tax.
