HC Deb 01 April 1971 vol 814 c431W
49. Mr. Meacher

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what he estimates would be the annual loss of revenue from permitting tax relief on hire-purchase charges, and how such relief would be distributed at various income levels.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

The cost would be about £40 million. As regards the second part of the Question, information on which to base an estimate is not available.
