HC Deb 15 December 1978 vol 960 cc523-4W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will consider introducing legislation to grant initial allowances on

new shop and warehouse buildings; and, if his estimate of the cost of so doing is at present prohibitive, he will consider granting such allowances where the occupier is also the freeholder or has built for own use under a long ground lease.

Mr. Denzil Davies:

I regret that in the time available it has not been possible to provide the information requested. I shall write to my hon. Friend.
