HC Deb 29 July 1997 vol 299 c130W
Mr. Malcolm Bruce

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will change the calculation of the windfall tax liabilities by entity in order to put these on a constant price basis; and if he will make a statement. [11370]

Mr. Geoffrey Robinson

No. The Chancellor gave very careful consideration to the tax base in framing his proposals for the windfall tax.
