HC Deb 30 November 2000 vol 357 c955W
Dr. Tonge

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will reduce VAT on incontinence pads available in shops to 5 per cent. [140825]

Dawn Primarolo

Incontinence pads can already be zero-rated by retailers supplying incontinent people living in their own homes. They are exempt from VAT when provided as part of the care incontinent people receive in nursing and residential homes.
