Sir John Gilmour

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider making the chairmanship of the VAT Tribunal in Scotland a part-time appointment in view of the relatively small number of appeals at present being lodged.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

I am making further inquiries and will write to the hon. Member.

Mr. Ford

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many traders are registered for VAT.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

The approximate number of persons registered for VAT at mid-January was 1,244,400.
