VAT And Charity Shops

EDM number 342 in 1992-93, proposed by Eddie Loyden on 24/06/1992.

That this House applauds the work done by Oxfam and other charities in raising money for overseas aid; notes the contribution made by the Oxfam shops through the sale of second hand goods; deplores the threat to this by the threat to impose VAT on second hand goods by the EEC and calls on the Secretary of State to resist any attempt to implement the Seventh Directive of the EEC.

This motion has been signed by a total of 67 MPs.
