HC Deb 20 January 1976 vol 903 c400W
32. Rear-Admiral Morgan-Giles

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what percentage reduction in employment has occurred in the boat building industry since the imposition of the 25 per cent, rate of VAT.

Mr. John Fraser

I regret that the information is not available from the statistics maintained by my Department which are compiled for the shipbuilding and marine engineering industries as a whole but not separately for boat building.
