The National Caravan Council (NCC) have already stated that it could cost around 1000 jobs in the East Riding Caravan Industry in the first year. Mobile/touring caravans already carry VAT and the government has said putting the tax on static caravans was about changing a loophole in the law. Ms Johnson was joined at the launch with Lord Prescott and Labour MP Alan Johnson (who represents Hull West and Hessle). Diana Johnson says 'We are asking Hull People to get behind caravan workers and their fight for local jobs'. |
