HC Deb 29 March 1976 vol 908 c377W
Mr. Ridley

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what estimate he has made of the cost of granting relief from corporation tax to those unincorporated associations and other bodies that have requested relief arising from his consultations.

Mr. Denzil Davies

As no satisfactory definition of bodies to benefit from a lower rate of corporation tax has emerged from the consultations there is no basis on which to estimate the cost of any relief.

Mr. Ridley

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many persons made representations to him on the consultative document issued by the Inland Revenue on the corporation tax treatment of unincorporated associations and other bodies constituted for public purposes.

Mr. Denzil Davies

About 35.
