HC Deb 01 December 1981 vol 14 c66W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will publish in the Official Report a table showing the total amount set off against profits in each of the past five years by (a) all firms and (b) manufacturing for investment in, respectively, increased stocks, plant and machinery and total investment.

Mr. Ridley

This information has not hitherto been available. However, I hope that it will be possible to provide some estimates in the forthcoming Green Paper on corporation tax.
