§ Mr. RaynsfordTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his estimate of the cost to the Exchequer in terms of revenue forgone in a full year of the rent-a-room scheme outlined in the Conservative party manifesto under which home owners will be able to let rooms to lodgers without liability to tax on the rent they receive.
§ Mr. DorrellThe Exchequer cost of any rent-a-room scheme would depend on the scope and details of the particular scheme.
