§ Mr. Leonardasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what he estimates to be the revenue loss to the Exchequer in the current year as a result of self-employment in the building industry over the revenue which would accrue if self-employment in the industry were eliminated.
§ Mr. NottI assume that the Question refers to those supplying labour only, but the number of these is not known, and statistics of the effect of the 1971 Finance Act measures for the first year of their operation are not yet available. No estimate is therefore possible at this stage.
