HC Deb 08 July 1969 vol 786 cc213-4W
29. Mr. Hooley

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will now study further the possibility of introducing an interest equalisation tax to discourage the flow of capital out of this country to other advanced industrial countries.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

Present arrangements under exchange control and the voluntary programme go a good deal further than the interest equalisation tax. They are working well and I see no reason for modifying them.
