Mr. Gregory

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much relief has been allowed under the hotel building allowances for each year since the rate was fixed at 20 per cent.

Mr. Moore

[pursuant to his reply, 1 December 1983; c. 586.]: The tax cost of hotel building allowances has risen from negligible amounts in 1978–79 to an estimated £10 million to £15 million in the current year. These figures assume that sufficient profits are available to absorb the allowances in full.
