Most people have sons-in-law.


Who are more likely to abuse the Zero VAT rate on batteries.

This is a case where it's difficult to draw the line for an item which

Given that most mobility users get various disability benefits, one

You don't need to be disabled to get zero VAT you can get some things if
you have a chronic illness.

e.g. we have bought special 'cool pouches' for a diabetic.
