Proceeding contribution from Lord Beith (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 July 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HC) and Debate on bill on Finance Bill.
Finance Bill
Does my hon. Friend appreciate that there are cost-neutral ways of removing that imbalance, which are always opposed by the volume builders—despite the fact that there is not much volume building going on. The renovation of existing properties could contribute a great deal more to dealing with homelessness if both kinds of activity were taxed at the same, relatively low, VAT rate.
