HC Deb 16 July 1985 vol 83 c84W
Mr. Foulkes

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will estimate the percentage level of value added tax take-up for each EEC country necessitated by the 1986 draft EEC budget.

Mr. Ian Stewart

The preliminary draft budget has not yet been published by the Commission, so it is not expected that the Council of Ministers will be in a position to establish a draft budget until September.

Mr. Foulkes

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list the percentage level of value added tax take-up for the United Kingdom for each EEC budget since 1975.

Mr. Ian Stewart

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

Mr. Foulkes

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will estimate the maximum level of expenditure in the EEC budget implied by a 1.4 per cent. value added tax ceiling; and if he will list any similar estimates made by other EEC countries or the EEC Commission.

Mr. Ian Stewart

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