§ Mr. Maxwell-Hyslopasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is the practice of the Inland Revenue to allocate to each of the income tax years in which it was generated the appropriate portion of interest paid by the Department of the Environment in respect of delayed compensation payments for land acquisition, or whether the whole interest is grossed with the other income of the taxpayer concerned for the one income tax year in which the interest is actually paid.
§ Mr. Denzil DaviesI shall let the hon. Member have a reply as soon as possible.
