§ Mrs. Anne CampbellTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will estimate the average cost of the March and November 1993 Budgets to businesses with a turnover of less than £30,000 per annum and to businesses with a turnover greater than £500,000 per annum in terms of a percentage of turnover.
§ Mr. DorrellIt is not possible to provide the information requested. The net cost or benefit to individual businesses from the 1993 Budget measures will depend on a wide variety of factors including many not dependent on turnover, such as number of employees and rates of pay, level of profits, level of dividends and liability for non-domestic rates.
