Domestic rates and car tax relief costs
The 1978 Exchequer costs were estimated at £79 million for domestic-rates relief and £28 million for car-tax relief, together 1.69% of GNP. Asked whether the share would rise or fall in 1979, the Minister estimated a slight fall.
asked the Minister for Finance the cost to the Exchequer of (a) relief on domestic rates and (b) relief from car tax in 1978; and the total amount concerned expressed as a percentage of GNP.

It is estimated that the cost to the Exchequer in 1978 of (a) relief on domestic rates was £79 million and of (b) relief from car tax was £28 million. The total amount concerned represents 1.69 per cent of the 1978 GNP.

Can the Minister tell us at this stage if the equivalent figures for 1979 will show these concessions as a percentage of GNP, rising or falling?
