HC Deb 05 February 1979 vol 962 cc54-5W
Mr. Biffen

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what proposals he has to modify existing stock relief provisions in order to assist companies whose stocks have fallen below the figure of the previous year on account of the disruption of supplies by the current industrial dispute.

Mr. Denzil Davies

I have noted the hon. Member's suggestion and will bear it in mind together with the representations which the Revenue has received on this and other matters included in its consultative paper on possible changes in stock relief.
