Mr. Parkinson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is aware of the confusion created in the commercial world by the recent ruling of the Special Commissioners which calls into question the basic principle underlying short-term sale and lease back agreements; and whether he will clarify, as a matter of urgency, the legal and tax position of such agreements.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer to the Questions by my hon. Friends the Members for Belfast, North (Mr. Stratton Mills) and Torrington (Mr. Peter Mills) on 22nd June.—[Vol. 819, c. 250.]
