§ Mr. Greenwayasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will remove value added tax charges on courses in adult and continuing education; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Bruce-GardyneMy hon. Friend will be aware from my earlier reply of 14 June—[Vol. 25. c.200–1]—that there is already a wide measure of relief from VAT for adult and continuing education courses. The Government do not propose to alter the present arrangements which have been in force since the beginning of the tax.
