HC Deb 16 December 1985 vol 89 c48W

Mr. Neil Hamilton asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will estimate in respect of the most recent year practicable (a) the number of disposals in that year of assets acquired prior to 6 April 1965, other than quoted securities, subject to capital gains tax, or in the case of companies' capital gains, to corporation tax, (b) the number of valuations as at 6 April 1965 carried out in the year in respect of such assets and (c) the cost to the Inland Revenue and taxpayers, respectively, of those valuations.

Mr. Moore

I regret that information is not available on which to base satisfactory estimates.
