HC Deb 16 December 1980 vol 996 c104W
Mr. Freeson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will confirm that he will continue to apply zero rating value added tax on professionally installed double glazing.

Sir Geoffrey Howe

[pursuant to his reply, 15 December 19801: The treatment under value added tax of building work generally, including the installation of double glazing, is under review by Customs and Excise, particularly in the light of recent and pending court and VAT Tribunal cases. I am not able to say what the outcome will be.
