HC Deb 19 July 1979 vol 970 cc795-6W
40. Mr. Viggers

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he proposes to change the arrangements which encourage em- ployees to acquire shares in their companies.

Mr. Biffen

As our pre-election manifesto made clear, it is our intention to expand and build on existing schemes for encouraging employee share ownership, and we shall be reviewing the relevant taxation provisions.
