HC Deb 13 July 1982 vol 27 c350W
Sir Paul Bryan

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what losses he estimates the Treasury and the Customs and Excise to have sustained during the last three 12-month periods as a result of income tax, corporation tax and value added tax evasion by those engaged in video piracy, or theft of intellectual property.

Mr. Bruce-Gardyne

It is not possible to make an estimate of any loss of revenue from income tax, corporation tax and value added tax by those engaged in these activities.
