HC Deb 25 June 1984 vol 62 cc332-3W
Mr. Parry

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what recent representations he has received objecting to the introduction of value added tax on improvements to existing buildings.

Mr. Hayhoe

I have received a substantial number of representations about the extension of VAT standard-rating to building alteration work. While many of these have disapproved of this change, others have welcomed the continued relief for certain alterations to listed buildings.

Mr. Sheerman

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he has any plans to impose value added tax at the standard rate on car driving test fees and MOT test fees.

Mr. Hayhoe

I shall let the hon. Member have a reply as soon as possible.

Mr. Sheerman

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why the collection of value added tax on the motorcycle part one test fee is being fully enforced from 11 June; why it has not hitherto been collected in some cases; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Hayhoe

I shall let the hon. Member have a reply as soon as possible.
