HC Deb 28 March 1979 vol 965 c234W
Mr. Lawson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list the total number of amendments he has introduced to the Finance Bill during its passage through the House in each Session since March 1974.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

The information requested can be obtained from theOfficial Report and other sources readily available in the Library of the House.

For my Department to provide the information requested by the hon. Member would involve a disproportionate expenditure of official time and resources which could not be justified.
