§ Mr. Austin Mitchellasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will estimate the increase in construction in 1984–85 which will take place as a result of industrial buildings allowances.

It is not possible to isolate the effects of the availability of the industrial buildings allowances on levels of activity in the construction industry from other factors.
