§ Mr. Biggs-Davisonasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what reasons seventeen companies gave for their applications to move their residence outside the United Kingdom during the last five months; in which cases consent has been granted; and what is the expected loss to the revenue.
§ Mr. MacDermotI cannot discuss the circumstances of particular cases. Consent has so far been given to thirteen of the seventeen companies which have applied since 15th October, 1964. The loss to the United Kingdom revenue in these cases is expected to be negligible.
