HC Deb 03 November 1994 vol 248 c1284W
Mr. Bowden

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the increase in inflation for the year to September 1994 would have been if VAT on fuel at 8 per cent. had not been introduced in April.

Mr. Nelson

The extension of VAT to domestic fuel and power is estimated to have added just under 0.4 per cent. to the retail prices index since April 1994.
