VAT RELIEF FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES

Early day motion 513, tabled 20 January 2009 by Lord Stunell (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 70 members.

That this House strongly supports VAT relief available on a range of products and services for people with disabilities; is concerned at the lack of awareness amongst people with disabilities of the availability of VAT relief; and, given the current economic climate, calls on HM Revenue and Customs actively to increase the publicity of VAT relief in order to raise awareness of its availability amongst people with disabilities and members of the construction and maintenance industry.
