HC Deb 21 March 1972 vol 833 c292W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether in his forthcoming Budget he will consider giving tax incentives to all persons and organisations that install fire defence precautions in their properties.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

I would refer the hon. Member to the Budget Statement.

Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what approaches he has received from the Central Fire Liaison Panel regarding financial incentives for fire defence; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Higgins

The panel has submitted a memorandum in which it argues that there should be a system of cash grants for investment in fire protection systems. Its views have been noted.
