HC Deb 11 July 1986 vol 101 c294W
Sir Brandon Rhys Williams

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what estimate he has of the change in the yield of capital gains tax if it were levied at 40 per cent. retaining all existing exemptions, but excluding tax on inflationary gains.

Mr. Norman Lamont

Possibly about one-third of the yield of capital gains tax would be lost.
