HC Deb 21 April 1982 vol 22 cc93-4W
Mr. Sainsbury

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much capital allowances for the hotel industry are expected to cost in 1982–83 and 1983–84; what estimate he has made of the additional cost in 1982–83 and 1983–84 of capital allowances for industry at the new rate of 75 per cent.; and what would be the cost of granting capital allowances for new retail buildings in 1982–83 and 1983–84 at the same rate as that for hotels.

Mr. Ridley

I shall let my hon. Friend have a reply as soon as possible.
