HC Deb 30 June 1980 vol 987 c385W
20. Mr. Speller

asked the Secretary of State for Trade whether he will require hotels and other catering establishments to indicate and invoice their prices at a figure inclusive of value added tax in line with the practice of tour operators and hoteliers offering overseas holidays.

Mrs. Sally Oppenheim

As I indicated to my hon. Friend the Member for Chorley (Mr. Dover) on 17 December 1979—[Vol. 976, c. 25]—I propose to lay before Parliament as soon as practicable a general order requiring traders to quote either VAT inclusive prices or prices showing clearly the amount of VAT.
