HC Deb 28 November 1996 vol 286 c388W
16. Mrs. Fyfe

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will estimate the income from VAT on domestic fuel for 1996–97. [4872]

Mr. Oppenheim

The income from VAT on domestic fuel and power for the 12 months to June 1996 is estimated to be of the order of £1.1 billion. The outturn for 1996–97 will be affected by factors such as the weather, but is expected to be of a similar magnitude.
