VAT ON TABLOID NEWSPAPERS

Tabled by George Galloway (Workers Party of Britain) 1 signatures

The motion

That this House urges the Government to impose VAT on daily and Sunday tabloid newspapers which are principally in the entertainment industry rather than the news business; and believes that such a measure could bring in an estimated revenue of £3 billion a year to HM Treasury which could be used for house-building and infrastructural measures to stimulate the economy.
