HC Deb 05 November 1979 vol 973 c25W
Mr. Geraint Howells

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what representation he has received from the building and construction industry regarding the tax exemption certificates; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Rees

A number of representations have been received about various aspects of the subcontractor deduction scheme, including the certificates. I propose to issue a consultative document in the near future setting out some possible changes to the scheme with a view to introducing amending legislation.
