HC Deb 28 November 2000 vol 357 c596W
Mr. Pearson

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will review the classification of computerised printing presses for capital allowance purposes. [140299]

Dawn Primarolo

The rate at which capital allowances are given on an item of machinery or plant depends on whether the equipment can reasonably be expected when new to have a working life of less than 25 years. This will turn on the facts and circumstances of the individual case.
