David Stanton: ...the Minister for Finance has joined us. I asked people why this might be the case. Many people who want to participate in micro-generation are farmers who want to install a wind turbine on their land. However, they will be charged VAT to install a turbine.

He replied to me but his letter revealed that there are no plans to provide a second-level school. Land can be zoned but that does not mean it is available. As far as I am aware, land is not zoned.
