HC Deb 21 May 1974 vol 874 cc144-5W
Mr. Bishop

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what representations he has received since the issue of Customs and Excise Notice No. 708, under which demolition of houses and new construction is zero rated for VAT purposes, asking for the zero rating of repairs of listed buildings in order to encourage further listing and the proper maintenance of those so listed.

Dr. Gilbert

The hon. Member for Staffordshire, South-West (Mr. Cormack) asked a Question on 10th April. I can recall no other representations to me or my colleagues. I cannot, of course, answer about any which may have been sent to my predecessor.—[Vol. 872, c. 221.]
