Speech in Westminster Hall - Tue 04 Dec 2018
Animal Rescue Centres

"I congratulate the hon. Gentleman’s wife on her work. I mentioned four of the main organisations, but there are many across the country working in this field and I pay tribute to them all; they do fantastic work and we appreciate it.

Animal Rescue Centres

"My hon. Friend makes a relevant and eloquent point. I can add to his criticism of unscrupulous breeders. That problem needs to be addressed.

The 2018 regulations do not address the regulation of rescue centres. The RSPCA has issued a position statement on licensing animal rescue and rehoming centres. It …..."

Animal Rescue Centres

"The hon. Gentleman raises a serious point. The Select Committee on which we served—he is still a distinguished member—has looked at the issue, which is troubling for welfare organisations and needs Government attention.

The RSPCA believes that all rescue and rehoming centres and sanctuaries should be licensed under the animal …..."

Air Quality and Shore-to-Ship Charging

"My hon. Friend is making a very strong case for the argument he outlines. Does he believe that the absence of the shore-to-ship power supply is caused by a lack of regulation? Will he come on to what the shipping companies are expected to be able to do in terms …..."

Written Question
Markets: VAT
Thursday 29th March 2018

Asked by: Jim Fitzpatrick (Labour - Poplar and Limehouse)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether the policy of the Inland Revenue on street and other similar markets not attracting VAT has changed; and whether the Government has plans for such changes.

Answered by Mel Stride - Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer

HM Revenue and Customs has not changed its policy on VAT in relation to street or similar markets. If there is a passive supply of an interest in land then the supply will normally be exempt from VAT. However if the main supply is something other than just a supply of land, then the VAT treatment will be determined by the VAT rules relating to the main supply.
