HC Deb 17 February 1966 vol 724 c282W
66. Mr. Chichester-Clark

asked the President of the Board of Trade what estimate he has made of the effect on the building and construction industries of the new investment incentives.

Mr. Darling

Plant and machinery used by the building and construction industry will be eligible for the increased rate of initial allowance of 30 per cent. It is not possible to make any precise estimate of the effect of the new system on these industries.
