HC Deb 12 July 1917 vol 95 c2127W
Mr. KING

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can give an estimate of the losses to the revenue in the current year of the concessions given to taxpayers during the Committee stage of the Finance Bill?

Mr. BONAR LAW

It is impossible at this stage to give an estimate of the cost of the concessions referred to which would be of any value, and in these circumstances I do not think it would serve any useful purpose to attempt to name a figure.
