§ Mr. Proctorasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what percentage of all mortgages, upon which tax relief is paid, are under £25,000.
§ Mr. Ridley[pursuant to his reply, 26 November 1982, c. 603]: I regret that information on which to base a precise estimate is not available, but it is thought that the vast majority—certainly over 95 per cent—of mortgages on which tax relief is being given are under £25,000.
