Proceeding contribution from Stewart Hosie (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.

Finance Bill

I know that one of the arguments has been that the removal of VAT might require a derogation from the EU, but can the hon. Gentleman confirm that no such derogation is required in terms of gambling or gaming—that matter is purely at the discretion of each state—and that there would be no technical, legal or European obstacle to removing VAT on bingo?
