answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/11/2020 answer text <p>The temporary zero rate of VAT on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) was an extraordinary measure to help affected sectors (such as hospitals and care homes) during the initial shock of the COVID-19 pandemic and when the global supply of PPE did not meet demand. The zero rate applies to PPE that meets the standard set out in the guidance from Public Health England (PHE).</p><p> </p><p>This measure will come to an end on 31 October (as legislated), as new measures introduced by the Government will ensure supply of COVID-19 related PPE to affected sectors from 1 November. Face coverings that do not meet the standard set by PHE should not be affected by the temporary zero rate coming to an end.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman grouped question UIN 107020 107652 question first answered 02/11/2020 16:57:14 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
