HC Deb 27 June 1991 vol 193 c548W
17. Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what plans he has to change the way police authorities pay value added tax on police cars they buy.

Mrs. Gillian Shephard

There are no plans to change the VAT treatment of police cars. Where VAT is non-recoverable by a police authority, as is the case when it purchases police cars, this is allowed for in its funding.
