HC Deb 01 November 1979 vol 972 c637W
Mr. du Cann

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has yet completed his consideration of the tax disadvantage suffered by the purchase of horses in the United Kingdom in respect of which value added tax is charged at the full rate whereas no tax is charged in the Republic of Ireland and tax is charged on only carcase value in France.

Mr. Peter Rees

I shall let my right hon. Friend have a reply as soon as possible.
