HC Deb 10 May 1966 vol 728 cc38-9W
32. Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what research he has sponsored to ascertain the incentive or disincentive effect of different forms of taxation.

Mr. Callaghan

The effects of taxation on the economy is the subject of continuous research through the normal administrative process of Government. I am willing to consider suggestions for commissioning specific projects in this field where there are fairly precise methods of undertaking a study which will give useful results.
