§ Mr. Ralph Howellasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish figures comparing the net weekly income—after taking into account income tax, social security contributions and child benefit—in Great Britain, France and 154W different from the national ones, which indicate that of the total number of assessments issued by officers in 1978 about 4 per cent. were subsequently reduced, and that these reductions represented, on average, about 6½ per cent. in value of the original amount assessed.
§ Mr. Eldon Griffithsasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, in view of the fact that the printed forms accompanying exported goods are full, value added tax rated on grounds that while they accompany exports they are not themselves exported, he has plans to change this.
§ Mr. Peter ReesNo. Value added tax on printed forms purchased by a business registered for VAT is deductible in the normal way and even though the forms may not be exported they are effectively relieved of VAT.
