Call For Cut In VAT

Glenrothes MP backs a call for a cut in VAT.

George Osborne is being urged to cut VAT for tourism businesses in Fife.

The current rate paid in the UK rests at 20%, compared to just 7% in many European countries.

Economists say a reduction would help to tackle unemployment as firms would be more willing to take staff on.

Glenrothes MP Lindsay Roy is also applying pressure on the UK government.
