HC Deb 16 December 1969 vol 793 c283W
94. Mr. R. C. Mitchell

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what consideration he has given to relieving the building industry from the payment of selective employment tax; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. William Rodgers

The case for making the building industry liable to S.E.T. was carefully considered when the tax was introduced and I am not convinced that such a change in the tax as is suggested should now be made.
