HC Deb 22 March 1979 vol 964 c699W
31. Mr. Viggers

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how his current expectation of tax revenue from North Sea oil compares with the expectation envisaged in the statement by the Chief Secretary to the Treasury on 2 August 1978.

Mr. Joel Barnert

The figures given in my statement to the House on 2 August 1978 were for the increase in Government revenue arising from the proposed changes in PRT announced then. The current estimates of the increase have not changed significantly since then.
