Proceeding contribution from Viscount Thurso (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 3 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Finance (No 2) Bill.


Finance (No. 2) Bill

Hon. Members of all parties agree on the importance and desirability of investment in venture companies. Clearly, the ultimate measure of success will be the return that the Exchequer gets on its own investment when the companies come to maturity and are able to pay back to the Treasury in tax. Has any estimate been made—I understand that it is early days—along those lines about what sort of return can be expected from the Government’s investment when these companies mature?
