HC Deb 19 July 1979 vol 970 cc819-20W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what representations he has received from Mr. Roy Grantham, the general secretary of the Association of Professional, Executive, Clerical and Computer Staff, concerning luncheon vouchers; what reply he is sending; and if he will make a statement.

Sir Geoffrey Howe,

pursuant to the reply [Official Report, 16 July 1979], gave the following answer:

I have received a letter dated 9 July from the general secretary of APEX urging that the tax-free limit for luncheon vouchers should be raised. He enclosed a copy of an earlier letter of 18 June which never reached my office. I have replied along the same lines as the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Plymouth, Drake (Miss Fookes) on 21 June.
