HC Deb 09 June 1992 vol 209 c80W
Mr. Snape

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he intends to maintain the zero-rating of value added tax on passenger transport after 1997.

Sir John Cope

The Government have maintained, during the single market negotiations, our right to retain the coverage of our current zero rates including domestic passenger transport. The present agreement reached by Finance Ministers covers the period until 1997 without prejudice to what happens thereafter.
