HC Deb 19 March 1973 vol 853 c29W
Mr. Trew

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make proposals about the provision of design services to exempt undertakings, in view of the different situation as between construction companies, which are able to provide a zero-rated design service as part of a design-and-build service, and independent consultants who are obliged to charge value added tax on their fees; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Higgins

No. but the situation will be kept under review.
