HC Deb 21 February 1985 vol 73 c558W
19. Mr. Flannery

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will estimate the cost to date in lost income tax revenue of the coal strike.

Mr. Moore

There are revenue gains as well as losses arising from the coal strike, but up to the end of 1984, the direct loss of income tax revenue from miners on strike is estimate to be between £150 million and £200 million.
