§ 2. Wingfield Digbyasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much of the £235 million deductions for expenses under Schedule E for 1961–62 related to Dorset, and how much related to the south-west of England.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterI am afraid that this information is not available.
§ Mr. DigbyWould it not be true to say that these tax concessions, like so many others, benefit only those living in the cities, and bear little relationship to life in the countryside and small towns?
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterI would not say that. The Answer that I shall give to a later Question may in some measure reassure my hon. Friend on that point.
