Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent representations he has received from the tourism industry on the level of VAT applicable to leisure attractions in the UK; and if he will make a statement.

The Government has received a number of representations enclosing documents relating to the ‘Cut Tourism VAT’ campaign, which seeks a reduced rate of VAT for accommodation and attractions.

I refer the Rt Hon gentleman to my comments during the Westminster Hall debate on 11^th February 2014.
