§ Mr. Wareingasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what representations he has had concerning the levying of value added tax on pet foods; if he intends to seek to, categorise pet foods in the same way as other foods for value added purposes; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. BrookeI have received a few letters, including one from the Pet Food Manufacturers Association. The Government have no plans to relieve those items of pet food which are currently liable to VAT at the standard rate.
