HC Deb 13 May 1976 vol 911 cc226-7W
Mr. Lawson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what additional yield to the revenue is expected to accrue in 1977–78 and in subsequent years as a result of the passage of Clause 55 of the Finance Bill.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

I will let the hon. Member have a reply as soon as possible.

Mr. Lawson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what savings on staff are expected to be enjoyed by the Revenue in 1977–78 and in subsequent years as a result of the passage of Clause 55 of the Finance Bill.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

The simplification achieved by this legislation will reduce the staff cost per case, but since it will also increase the number of assessments on car benefits there will be a net increase in the total staff requirement.
