HC Deb 06 November 1979 vol 973 cc111-2W
Mr. Nicholas Baker

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what representations he has received from charitable organisations with regard to the impact upon their finances of value added tax at its current rate; and if he will make a statement about the position of charities in this regard.

Mr. Peter Rees

We have received a number of representations about the effect of all the recent tax changes on the position of charities, which we are still considering.
