HC Deb 20 December 1990 vol 183 c300W
Mr. Ian Taylor

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what plans he has to propose the introduction into United Kingdom law of article 13(g) of the sixth directive of the European Community regarding the supply of goods and services linked to welfare and social security work.

Mrs. Gillian Shephard

Group 7, schedule 6 of the VAT Act 1983 reflects article 13A1(g) of the directive by allowing VAT exemption for the supply, otherwise than for profit, by a charity or public body of welfare services and of goods supplied in connection therewith.
