Proceeding contribution from Lord Cope of Berkeley (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 22 October 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Small Businesses.


Small Businesses

My Lords, will Her Majesty’s Government support at ECOFIN in a few days’ time the proposal of the European Commission—which, for all I know, the Minister may have initiated in his previous existence—to reduce VAT on repairs to buildings, particularly homes and listed properties? That would be an immense advantage to small businesses. If it is duly passed at ECOFIN, will the Minister encourage his right honourable friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer to implement it?
