§ Mr. Sternasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider amending section 177 (3) of the 258W Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1970 to allow the carry-back of a trading loss incurred by a company for two accounting periods rather than one.
§ Mr. MooreI have noted my hon. Friend's suggestion but have at present no plans to extend the carry-back period under this provision.
