§ 27. Mr. Laurance Reedasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of public concern over the indiscriminate disposal of poisonous wastes, he will seek to change the law so as to qualify for capital allowances expenditure on the conveyance, treatment or disposal of trade effluents, now held not so to qualify.
§ Mr. HigginsI have noted my hon. Friend's suggestion. As he will be aware, a very large part of this expenditure already qualifies for allowances.
