Mr. James Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what estimate he has made of the effect on house prices consequent upon the 50 per cent. reduction in selective employment tax.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

It is estimated that the halving of selective employment tax will result in a decrease of between 1 per cent. and 2 per cent. in building costs.
