Static Caravans (VAT)

Debate between Graham Stuart and Eric Ollerenshaw

Thursday 26th April 2012 Commons Chamber

[Mr Stuart]

That is why I am grateful to Ministers for agreeing to listen to the evidence before reaching any definitive decision. Such a definitive decision has not been made, and I hope that when it is, it will be made in the right way.

[Eric Ollerenshaw (Lancaster and Fleetwood) (Con)]

Caravan park owners in my constituency want to know why, after 39 years of VAT, there should suddenly be an anomaly, given that there is a clear distinction in law between a travelling caravan, a residential caravan and a static caravan.

[Several hon. Members]
