HC Deb 12 July 1972 vol 840 c387W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what details have been supplied to him by the Football Association about the relationship of the tax payments of member clubs to their net receipts, and the effects on them of the imposition of value added tax; and what reply he has sent.

Mr. Higgins

My right hon. Friend has been sent an off-print of an article from theFootball Association News, which gave no evidence of the effect on attendances and receipts of passing any net extra tax burden on in admission charges, and did not call for any reply.
