HC Deb 19 February 1975 vol 886 c397W
Mr. George Cunningham

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his estimate of the gain to the revenue of restricting tax relief on loans for house purchase and improvement to relief at the basic rate of tax.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

The gain for a full year, on the basis of estimated 1974–75 incomes and current tax rates, would be about £25 million.
