HC Deb 22 February 1977 vol 926 c520W
Mr. Farr

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the total amount of value added tax collected in the latest available year on the sales of shotguns, rifles, airweapons and handguns and their ammunition.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

I regret that this information is not available. For VAT statistical purposes, suppliers of sporting weapons and ammunition are included in a larger group of retailers supplying leather goods, sports goods, toys and fancy goods.
