I have a question on new-build houses. In the North, there is no VAT payable on new-build houses. I have discussed this with various Ministers and have raised it at meetings of my parliamentary party and the response I get is that any changes in that regard would cause a problem with Revenue. They always want to blame somebody else. Would Revenue have an issue with making new-build houses exempt from VAT, as they are in Northern Ireland?
