asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what would be the cost to the Exchequer of (a) allowing stock relief for the first £2,000, (b) allowing training costs to be set against any tax payable under schedule D base I or II assessment rather than against profits, (c) allowing capital expenditure similarly and (d) extending the industrial building allowance to all business premises.

I shall let the hon. Member have a reply as soon as possible.
