HC Deb 03 December 1974 vol 882 cc460-1W
Mr. Horam

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he will publish the Finance Bill; and whether he will again provide explanatory notes on the Bill for the convenience of Members and other interested persons.

Dr. Gilbert

The Finance Bill will be published on Tuesday 10th December. Short background notes will again be made available to Members in the Vote Office, along with the Bill itself. The background notes will be accompanied on this occasion by more detailed explanatory notes, prepared by the Board of Inland Revenue, on three sets of provisions in the Bill—those relating to capital transfer tax, life assurance and relief for stock appreciation.
