§ Mr. Kilfedderasked the Prime Minister whether the tax income from companies operating in Northern Ireland whose registered headquarters are in Great Britain was taken into account in arriving at the figure of £200 million as the size of the subsidy paid to Northern Ireland.
§ Mr. van StraubenzeeI have been asked to reply.
In addition to the appropriate share of reserved tax revenue, which in the case of corporation tax includes an attribution for companies operating in Northern Ireland and having headquarters in Great Britain, it is estimated that the Northern Ireland Exchequer will receive about £200 million in special payments, subsidies and grant-in-aid in 1972–73.
