§ Mr. Colvinasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what revenue has been received from value added tax on house repair bills in the last year for which figures are available.
§ Mr. HayhoeBusinesses registered for value added tax are not required to make returns of the tax charged on particular supplies of goods and services, and information of this kind is therefore not directly available. However, estimates of consumers' expenditure suggest that the yield from value added tax on housing repairs in 1984 was of the order of £500 million.
