Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what discussions he has had with Ministers of other departments on changing the level of VAT for the tourism and hospitality industries; and if he will make a statement.
My Rt Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State and myself routinely meet with Ministerial colleagues on a range of matters on a regular basis. VAT is a matter for the Treasury.
