HC Deb 05 April 1973 vol 854 cc131-2W
Mr. Maxwell-Hyslop

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he is aware that National Car Parks Limited, which operates the station car park at Exeter, is charging 2p VAT surcharge on the 15p daily parking charge; and what action he will take to terminate this unlawful profiteering.

Mr. Peyton

Guidance has been issued on the recovery of value added tax levied on off-street car parking charges. I am investigating this increase to see whether it conforms to that guidance, and will write to my hon. Friend about the outcome.
