HC Deb 10 March 1994 vol 239 c323W
Mr. Ian Taylor

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer when the Inland Revenue next intends to publish updated guidance on approved employee share schemes, to replace versions dated 1991, and updated guidance on profit-related pay to replace the present editions published five years ago.

Mr. Dorrell

The Inland Revenue published revised versions of its booklets and leaflets on approved employee share schemes on 7 March. Revision of the guidance notes on profit-related pay is currently under consideration.

Mr. Ian Taylor

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how soon he expects to announce details of the introduction and operation of approved employee share schemes and of statutory employee share ownership plans up to the end of March 1993.

Mr. Dorrell

The Inland Revenue expects to issue the latest figures on the introduction and operation of approved employee share schemes in April 1994—and annually in April thereafter. Similar information for statutory employee share ownership plans is not available.
