Business question from Hywel Williams (Plaid Cymru) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 6 November 2008. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
May we have a debate on the rate of value added tax levied on housing repairs? It is currently 17.5 per cent., compared with 5 per cent. for new build. Housing repairs are much more important than new build in Wales because we have a large stock of old, unfit and substandard housing, and the differential tax rate is a significant burden.
