HC Deb 05 August 1976 vol 916 c997W
Mr. Dodsworth

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) if, for the past two Finance Acts, he will categorise the sections thereof as (a) administrative, (b) creating charges upon the people and (c) any other relevant classification;

(2) if, for the past two Finance Acts, he will categorise the sections thereof as (a) the imposition of taxation, (b) the repeal of taxation, (c) the remission of taxation, (d) the alteration of taxation and (e) the regulation of taxation.

Mr. Denzil Davies

No. There are over 200 sections in the last two Finance Acts, and many either could not be allocated sensibly to one category rather than another, or would fall under a number of different categories.
