HC Deb 02 May 1989 vol 152 c2W
Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement on levels of value added tax in the context of progress towards the single market by 1992.

Mr. Lilley

The Government have made it clear on numerous occasions that they do not consider centrally imposed tax approximation to be necessary for the completion of the single market.
