Clause 7
Finance Bill
2:15 pm
Philip Hammond (Shadow Chief Secretary To the Treasury, Treasury; Runnymede and Weybridge, Conservative)
The hon. Lady said that the Government estimate that 80,000 people will benefit in the first year alone from entrepreneurs’ relief. To put that into context, can she tell the Committee how many people benefited from taper relief in the last year for which it was available? If she does not have the answer, could she perhaps obtain it and advise the Committee later so that we can understand the context of her remarks?
