CHANCELLOR Jeremy Hunt is being urged to “give the gift of life this Christmas” by scrapping VAT charges on defibrillators.
SNP MSP Jenni Minto made the plea, saying removing the levy could help develop a more effective network of defibrillators across the country – and save lives.
She told Hunt the UK Government should follow the lead of the Irish Government, after ministers in Dublin announced they would be removing VAT on the devices in September.
