Static Caravans (VAT)

Lord Hart of Tenby Excerpts

Thursday 26th April 2012 Commons Chamber

[Mr Stuart]

My hon. Friend makes a powerful point, which I know will have been heard by Ministers.

[Simon Hart (Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire) (Con)]

Does my hon. Friend understand the sense of bemusement among more than 20 firms in Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire that were looking to the Budget for some form of stimulus but have ended up getting stifled? Will he put as much pressure as possible on the Treasury through his good offices to look at this issue again and to take the views of the House into account?

[Mr Stuart]

My hon. Friend is absolutely right.
