HC Deb 22 November 1976 vol 919 cc892-3W
Mr. Madden

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the latest estimate of Exchequer revenue lost in the last financial year by companies underestimating their profits.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

I assume that my hon. Friend has in mind the loss through undetected evasion. It is not possible to estimate this.
