HC Deb 20 November 1979 vol 974 c137W
Mr. Marks

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what will be the cost in 1980–81 of the rise in value added tax for each of the regional health authorities.

Dr. Vaughan

It will not be possible to make an estimate of the amounts which regional health authorities will pay in value added tax in 1980–81 in advance of settling the cash limits and allocations for that year.
