HC Deb 08 March 1978 vol 945 c679W
Mr. Bulmer

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer under what circumstances he is prepared to consult companies or industries before introducing changes in taxation likely to affect them adversely.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

When it is appropriate, my colleagues and I consult those outside interests most likely to be affected before we introduce new taxation measures. We also take note of representations which are made either to us or to our Departments.
