HC Deb 10 April 2002 vol 383 c262W
Mr. Clappison

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will estimate the revenue to HM Exchequer which would result from the imposition of a tax on carrier bags in the UK at the same rate as in Eire. [47576]

Mr. Boateng

The Government keeps all taxes under review, but has not calculated the revenue that such a tax would bring.
