HC Deb 05 April 1974 vol 871 c475W
Mr. Redmond

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is his intention that any firm will be able to operate share option schemes after the enactment of the forthcoming Finance Bill subject to the tax liability to which he referred in his Budget Statement.

Dr. Gilbert

The effect of the Budget proposals will not be to ban share option schemes, but to make the benefits from such schemes subject to income tax.
