Richard Walker is absolutely right to dispute the Data limitation, but what is needed is the entire removal of this EU drafted legislation which is draconian,burdensome, expensive and ineffective.
Thousands of our businesses have to comply with its nonsense, requiring permission to contact their existing customers, in an act that was supposed to regulate the global search providers but instead required the National Trust to contact its 5 million members to request their permission to keep them informed of its work.The simplest and fastest way to revive our High Streets, whilst we wait for Rateable Value reform, would be by way of a variable VAT structure. For online goods delivered to home VAT should be at 25%; for online goods collected in store at 20%; and for goods purchased in the High Street at 15%.
The VAT concession to foreign tourist shoppers should also be urgently restored.
