HC Deb 12 July 1974 vol 876 c596W
Mr. Stephen Ross

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what recent representations he has received to exempt children's school uniforms from VAT; and what action he now proposes to take.

Dr. Gilbert

I have received a few representations from Members on this subject. I have noted the hon. Member's interest.

Sir D. Walker-Smith

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has yet completed his review of the liability for VAT of persons building their own homes for the purchase of materials; and whether he will introduce an appropriate amendment to Schedule 4 to the Finance Act 1972 to remedy their position.

Dr. Gilbert

The matter is still under review.
