HC Deb 30 November 1989 vol 162 c423W
40. Mrs. Fyfe

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he next expects to meet representatives of the Equal Opportunities Commission to discuss the tax on workplace nurseries.

Mr. Vaz

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement on his policy towards the abolition of tax payments on workplace nursery places.

43. Ms. Primarolo

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he next expects to meet representatives of the Equal Opportunities Commission to discuss the tax on workplace nurseries.

Mr. Lilley

There is no special tax on workplace nurseries. Any element of subsidy in a workplace nursery place is a benefit in kind and benefits in kind are generally subject to income tax. My right hon. Friend has no plans to discuss this matter with the Equal Opportunities Commission.
