§ Mr. Barnettasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will place in the Library of the House of Commons a copy of the review carried out by the Inland Revenue into companies subject to shortfall.
§ Mr. Patrick JenkinI have written to the hon. Member.

§ Mr. Patrick Jenkin£1.9 million was assessed as shortfall. The total distributions, a substantial part of which would probably not have been made were it not for the shortfall provisions, amounted to £118 million.
