HC Deb 29 November 1983 vol 49 c455W
Mr. Fatchett

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many private hospital companies have made use of (a) the business start-up scheme and (b) the business expansion scheme; and how many of these companies are American-owned.

Mr. Moore

According to information held centrally, only one private hospital has so far had investments which have received relief under the business start-up scheme. But several other companies have sought investments for which a claim for relief may be made when the qualifying trade commences. Under the business expansion scheme, claims cannot be made before 1 January 1984.

Relief is available only for investments in companies incorporated and resident in the United Kingdom, and is not given for subsidiaries of overseas companies, American or otherwise. The relief is only for an individual who has a minority interest and who is resident and ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom when the shares on which relief is claimed are issued.
