HC Deb 13 February 1997 vol 290 c311W
14. Mr. Gallie

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make it his policy to maintain mortgage tax relief at existing levels; and if he will make a statement. [14185]

Mr. Jack

As my right hon. and learned Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer said in his 1995 Budget speech, mortgage interest relief will remain unchanged for the lifetime of this Parliament. Beyond that, the level of mortgage interest relief is a matter to be considered each year in the Budget.
