HC Deb 28 April 1980 vol 983 cc331-2W
Mr. Greville Janner

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) what increase in unemployment would result from the abolition of zero rating for value added tax purposes of young children's clothing and footwear, now under consideration by Her Majesty's Customs and Excise;

(2) by what percentage the import of young children's clothing and footwear would be increased if, as a result of the current review of the operation of zero rating for value added tax purposes, that zero rating were abolished.

Mr. Peter Rees

I regret that such estimates are not available.
