Business question from Peter Bone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 November 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

I do not know whether the Leader of the House is a TOG—““Terry’s Old Geezer””—but I have had a number of complaints, not least from my wife, about this subject. Terry Wogan is currently promoting the sale of TOG calendars and ““Janet and John”” CDs for the BBC’s ““Children in Need”” appeal. Unfortunately, 17.5 per cent. of the proceeds go directly to the Government. Has the right hon. Gentleman had any indication from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who may also be a TOG, about whether he is prepared to exempt the sale of those products from VAT?
