HC Deb 24 November 1983 vol 49 cc289-90W
23. Mr. Allan Roberts

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will take action to prevent house mortgage income tax relief being provided for the purchase of goods other than dwellings.

Mr. Ian Stewart

Tax relief for mortgage interest is available on loans used to buy or improve the borrower's main home, but not on loans to buy other goods.
