HC Deb 13 December 1984 vol 69 c568W
36. Mr. Loyden

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what recent representation he has received about value added tax on books and periodicals during October and November.

43. Mr. Andrew MacKay

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many representations he has received about the prospect of value added tax being introduced on the sale of books, newspapers and periodicals.

Mr. Hayhoe

Treasury Ministers have received over 500 representations about the possible imposition of VAT on books, newspapers and periodicals. It is not practiable to give a seperate breakdown of representations received on books and periodicals alone.
