§ Mrs. Margaret EwingTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) what consultations he held with voluntary 303W organisations prior to implementing, through the Finance Act 1987, taxation of mileage allowances payable to those in voluntary work; and if he will list in the Official Report the names of those organisations he consulted;
(2) what is the total amount of revenue which has accrued to the Treasury since the implementation of the Finance Act 1987 through the taxation of mileage allowances payable to voluntary organisations.
§ Mr. Norman LamontIt is not clear what the hon. Member has in mind. The Finance Act 1987 does not contain any provisions relating to the tax treatment of mileage allowances payable to voluntary workers. If the hon. Member has a particular problem in mind perhaps she would like to write and let me have details.
