HC Deb 07 May 1986 vol 97 cc135-6W
Mr. Meacher

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what would be the effect on Exchequer revenues of removing the half tax relief from class 4 national insurance contributions.

Mr. Moore

[pursuant to his reply, 6 May 1986]: The latest available estimate of the cost of the relief (£55 million for 1985–86) was published in table 2.24 of "The Government's Expenditure Plans 1986–87 to 1988–89" (Cmnd. 9702).
